Well the last commit in http://hg-pub.ecoscentric.com/ecos/ is 5 months old one-liner, followed by a 12 and 15 month old ones, so this is not only on mailing lists. I'd say that while it is still a good OS with clean and easy to use architecture, the open source version basically died and there are parts hopelessly outdated (TCP/IP from ~2000 if I remember correctly etc). I cannot comment on eCosPro, but then you are in a price segment where there are more alternatives to explore. >> should i begin to work using eCos or should i look for other alternative? It depends on what your short and long-term plans are. Definitely also take a look at FreeRTOS.
