eCos & PowerPC 555, 565, 8xx, 82xx


Hallo,
  I need to make decision about embedded system for our embedded devices based
on Motorola PowerPC processors. We are interested in PPC 555, 56x, 8xx and
82xx.
  There is a support for 8xx mentioned on the eCos web page. But I'm
especially interested in MPC 565, because I have several kits from Motorola
here on my desk. Can you tell me, if eCos support MPC 565 or if someone is
working on it? If not, we probably could provide support for this line (must
be discussed with chiefs, but I think we could).
  What about the support on other PPC lines? 555, 82xx? Maybe porting from 555
to 565 can be easy (if supported).
  My mother tongue is not english and I'm trying to read eCos license. I'm
still unsure in several questions. Please, can you help with them?

  - can we make changes to eCos, use it and sell it as embedded device without
    source code? if yes, exists there some fee like royalty?

  - if not, never mind, we will distribute all modified code of eCos in the
    same license. But, if we made some changes to eCos and this changes will
    be looking good for maintainers, will be added to mainstream? if yes, it
    will be grat.

  - this question does not depend on the upper ones. Can we made some
    commercial application which will be running under eCos? It means, if we
    can sell this application without source code?

  For better understanding me ... We want to use eCos (or another embedded
system, but eCos looks good for us) and write some commercial appp for
eCos. We want do distribute this app without code and changes to eCos we are
willing to left under the same license for free to all users. Is this possible
with eCos?

Have a nice day,
Robert V0jta
