Right, but this is a different discussion -- as per ticket #46
(http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/46), about getting the Marvell code under
NDA to someone for porting.

Previously, there was no known suitable (free) porting target. Now eCOS
has emerged as one.

  

There are a few

ecos - ecos.sourceware.org
modified gpl  http://ecos.sourceware.org/license-overview.html

freertos - www.freertos.org
modified gpl

tinyos - http://www.freertos.org/a00114.html
license ?  http://www.tinyos.net/faq.html#SEC-17

Any other suitable open source rtos ?

Do the licenses linked to above, meet the requirements  ?

Michail, what are the deadlines ?

I know the group head of ICT Engineering (Information and Communications Technology)
has had a talk with the local Marvell rep on getting an NDA signed.

I'll have a talk with him at the open day on the 3rd and see if we can get this sped up.
Unfortunately a lot of companies here shutdown for summer holidays until the end of janurary , so
we'll have to see what we can do.
(summer school holidays  13 dec - 3rd feb)
(uni holidays end of nov - march - full three months for students)

I'm an interested in having a go but can not commit to any deadlines as am working
full time for a research lab/company until the end of January
on license plate recognition systems and deployments.

May be better placed to assist with testing of  a driver
as we have a full communications testing lab which is not currently being
utilised. Have equipment for up to 50GHz.

Has anyone started looking at repeaters or message box storage or internet gateways yet ?
