Are the HALs in the eCos repository meant for deployment?
Absolutely! Every one that's in the repository is for some board or device that [at least at some time in the past] existed and the platform could be built and run with no software "tweaks".
I would expect the average PCB to be somewhat/quite similar to an exisiting development board. I would *not* expect that the average product(hardware/software) would use some HAL completely unmodified. Rather than tweaking an existing HAL (often a couple of changes are sufficient), I would recommend to copy the existing HAL to a seperate repository(including the section in the ecos.db) and then placing that HAL before the snapshot of the eCos CVS HEAD. Renaming the HAL, although I would encourage it, isn't stricly required and probably not a lot of effort to rename at some later stage.
