[ECOS] eCos porting and API document.

[Tony Lee]

Is there any porting and APIs document for eCos?   I read the FAQs
but it doesn't have enough information.

I am looking for something similar QNX's documents at:
For system architecture:
http://www.qnx.com/literature/qnx_sysarch/index.html

On their evaluation CD (and website too, but I can' find the link), 
there are detail document on all of their API support for BSP, design for
Resource
Manager, File system, etc.

Similar documents can be found for vxWorks.   

For eCos to win the RTOS selection process, I think it needs documents for 
	System Archetecture.
	port guide
	Application APIs,
	Subsystem (TCP/IP, file system, device driver) design document.


Can someone tell me if we pay Cygnus/RedHat for support, do I get any of
these documents?


I am semi-believer on "Feel the force, read the source", but I can't
convince management that is good enough.

Have you seen this page:
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/

The Reference Manual contains the API, and under special topics
there's something about filesystems and porting.

All the docs are out in the open.
