Victor, could you explain a little more why you believe ECos to be soft
real time. I keep an eye on it now and then, from what I saw I inferred
it should be possible to do pretty hard real time stuff with it. I also
know somebody satisfactorily using it, and his application seems pretty
hard. So I thought that its only, important, drawback is that it cannot
combine real time with a fully fledged UNIX. As hinted by you hardly a
drawback for its specific target applications.
Ciao, Paolo.
