Re: eCos efficiency


Hi,

I explain my project model. I have 4 or 5 nodes connected via bus. On all
nodes i want real time operating system. Through one node my LAN is
connected to outside world from which many messages are pumping into my
gateway node.  There are also internal messages between the LAN. Suppose i
want my project to handle 2 lac messages(internal +external) per hr. The
processing of messages including processing, computing, writing on
secondary storage, and passing messgaes to other nodes.

In that scenario, eCos is efficient.? What i hv gone thru net, i found
eCos is mainly for embedded devices.

Thanks and Regards
Prince Arora
