Those boards are all ancient, hard-to-find, and expensive if you can find them. eCosPro supports many newer boards, but it's not free. > The cheapest ARM-based board I could find is Atmel AT91SAM7S > , > around USD 100 in digikey. > > Olimex boards are not on that list some are eCos compatible: - > http://www.olimex.com/dev/lpc-h2294.html "Native hardware > support by eCOS the anonymous eCos CVS tree has this target > inside 'olpch2294' eCos target", priced at EUR 70.95 > > Those boards have no ethernet ports. I think support for some of Atmel's ARM parts (AT91SAM926x) has been recently committed, but I have no experience with eCos on those parts.
