hello,

we're two students who have to make a thesis on rtos. One aspect of our 
thesis is to put eCos on a on-board computer (for trucks). The on-board 
computer consists of a sh3 7709a hitachi processor and 16MB flash and 4MB 
RAM.

We have no experience at all and we have studied the tutorials of eCos but 
we don't understand where to begin. Could we use the stubs from the EDK7708 
evalution platform ? How do we adapt the HAL-layer ? How do we port the 
kernel ? What do we need at least to build a kernel with a minimum of 
functionality ?

We hope someone could help us further

regards,

Jeroen Buyck & Tom Verlinden

This CPU variant is supported. You'll probably need special platform
initialization code.
