TCP/IP would increase the attractiveness of ECOS, therefore the *value* of future ports. Scenix (the Microchip competitor) had a PPP, TCP/IP and SMTP/HTTP demo - that's on a $3, 8-bit microcontroller. Someone at Cygnus ought to raise the priority to make sure ECOS has this critical feature ASAP. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bart Veer [SMTP:bartv@cygnus.co.uk] > Sent: Monday, October 04, 1999 11:34 AM > To: rprakash@cdotb.ernet.in; tgi@netgem.com > Cc: ecos-discuss@sourceware.cygnus.com > Subject: [ECOS] Re: TCP/IP Stack for eCos. > > >>>>> "Prakash" == Prakash R writes: > > Prakash> We plan to port BSD-4.4lite's TCP/IP stack on eCos. > Prakash> Currently we are trying to get the eCos to run on our > Prakash> MPC860 based board.
