(I'm not sure why this has anything to do with licensing.) The network threads are internal to the stack. POSIX threads are for running application code. The network threads will never run application code and so don't need to be POSIX threads. The network threads work perfectly well alongside POSIX applications without needing to be POSIX threads themselves. I don't know what problems you are having, but your suggestion is almost certainly the wrong solution. It sounds to me like you are trying to do something that eCos doesn't support. Tell us what the problem is and maybe someone can offer a better solution. -- Nick Garnett eCos Kernel Architect eCosCentric Limited http://www.eCosCentric.com/ The eCos experts Barnwell House, Barnwell Drive, Cambridge, UK.
