POSIX is a standard API that's used all over.  For example, Linux is a 
POSIX compliant system, so you would write a program using termios on 
eCos just like you would on Linux.

There are some examples of using termios in the eCos source base.  Look
at .../packages/services/gfx/mw/current/src/drivers/mou_mt.c
This is a mouse driver for MicroWindows.  This particular piece of code 
sets the mouse port (serial device) to run at 9600 baud, etc.

To learn more, try "man termios" on Linux :-)
