eCosPro Developer's Kits combine the stability, feature set, and
quality of support required for commercial embedded application development with eCos.
Rigorously tested and quality assured, eCosPro provides a stable and reliable base for your
application. A comprehensive automated test infrastructure typically runs over 21,000 tests for
each supported target platform in a release. This typically takes over two weeks of runtime to process within the test farm.
All the necessary elements for eCos application development are included in the
Developer's Kit: Eclipse-based IDE, GNU compiler toolset and utilities, GUI based eCos configuration tool,
RedBoot debug and bootstrap firmware, and the eCos RTOS. The standard features of eCos
are further extended with a number of exclusive eCosPro tools and runtime features.
Most importantly, support is included as standard, acting as a safeguard against any problems
you might encounter, answering your questions and helping to keep your project on track. This includes both
incident (bug fixes) and advice-line (usage questions) support services for
eCosPro.
Exclusive and Upgraded eCosPro Developer's Kit Features:
Graphical installer simplifies and speeds installation on your development systems
Windows development hosts: Windows XP, Windows 7 x86 and Windows 7 x64
Linux development hosts: Ubuntu LTS 10.x 32bit and 64bit, Fedora 13, SUSE Linux 11.3 and RHEL 4.8.
A comprehensive set of hosted development tools: Eclipse-based IDE, GNU toolchain and eCos utilities
Customized Eclipse-based IDE supports eCos project creation wizard, system configuration and application development
The GNU toolchain includes C/C++ compiler, assembler, debugger, linker and utilities
A range of commercial hardware debug solutions are supported by eCosPro's
GDB command line and IDE-based debuggers (target platform dependent)
Prebuilt RedBoot debug and bootstrap firmware binaries (most target platforms)
Memory allocation analysis and debugging tool
Profiling and code coverage tools (profiling timer support on selected platforms only)
Standard C++ (ISO 14822 conformant) and extended math libraries
lwIP alternative small footprint networking stack and reduced footprint Ethernet drivers (selected platforms only)
Robust Boot Loader (RBL) package for in-field software upgrades
FlashSafe API for high-reliability data logging to NOR flash
Objloader based runtime loading, relocation and linking of object files
JFFS2 Journalling Flash File System for NOR flash
YAFFS journalling file system for NAND flash
DOS-compatible FAT filesystem with support for FAT12/16/32, long filenames, internationalization,
removable media, and multi-threaded access (selected platforms only)
All target platforms include version 2 flash drivers - enabling support of multiple concurrent NOR flash device types
Extended device support includes Ethernet, RS232, watchdog, wallclock (RTC),
I2C, SPI, PCI, IDE, ADC, GPIO, framebuffer, NOR flash, NAND flash, dataflash, CF, MMC, SD/SDHC (target platform dependent)
