Re: LPC2148 runtime problems


Thanks for the reply Pawel,

In your opinion, is eCos too general/big to
have the following for the LPC2148?

USB Client
lwIP stack
CF wireless
Flash 
Serial

And then have my app which is about 8KB SRAM.

It sounds like I may have to roll my own rtos.

Thanks again,

       luis...
