I agree this is probably better as a longer term goal, than trying to
get done right away. I'm not sure how many lines the source code is, but
it is well documented and commented. A little history... We originally
designed eCOS at Cygnus, to give us a complete software stack for
embedded systems. Many of our customers needed something more hard-real
time to replace their roll-your-own kernels. We also made eCOS support
other RTOS APIs, like Micro-Itron, so eCOS is very heavily used by
Japanese industry these days. To ensure a solid product, we developed a
solid testing infrastructure, good documentation, and the configuration
infrastructure.
Redhat decided to get out of the embedded systems business at one
point after they bought Cygnus, and so the eCOS team I had built setup
their own company, eCosCentric in Cambridge to support eCOS. They are
now the primary developers and maintainers of eCOS, and I'd suggest
utilizing their expertise for a project like this if possible.
