Re: newbie with a board


If it's a C51, it is certainly not supported by eCos and I am affraid
that it won't even be possible to port eCos to it. As far as I know,
eCos has not (yet) been ported to any 8-bit micro so far. Most important
reason being that you 'd have to start porting the GNU compiler to it
first. And that's still considered to be _hard_ for anything else but 32
or 64 bit architectures.

IIRC, uC/OS2 can has been ported to the C51 family.
