We are developing a commercial product using eCos (x86
platform). We have made the following changes to the
eCos .
1. We have Modified eCos serial driver for BREAK
support.
2. Added custom keypad driver package to the eCos. No
eCos files are modified.
Do we need to make our product Open Source ?
We have also used redboot IDE source code in the
application software.
Do we need to release full or part of the
application code ?
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/license-overview.html has the best summary.
You are only obliged to release the eCos (and RedBoot) source code - you
can either do it directly to the people you are giving the binaries to *as
long as you put it alongside the binaries*, or you can make it available
to all. Read the overview :-).
BTW, there is already break support in the serial driver, it's just the
API isn't well documented :-|. See
devs/serial/generic/16x5x/current/src/ser_16x5x.c and search for
CYGNUM_SERIAL_STATUS_BREAK. How did you do it?
