Cool. Red Hat is not currently planning a port to this controller or
this board, so a contributed port would be welcome. I would recommend
starting from the anonymous CVS source base rather than the 1.2.1
release, see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/anoncvs.html for
details. Also, it might be an idea to check the "Contributing" section
of the FAQ, see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/faq.html, especially
the section on copyright assignments.
