Hi andrew,
Thanks for the valuable info.
Ok, if that is the case, the eCos will have its drivers too.right?
I was planning to use the following Linux BSP in my device found in the
ARM site.
cirrus-arm-linux-1.4.3.tar
Then I found that this BSP has a eCos Operating system in it.
Why does a Linux BSP for EDB9307/12/15 need a eCos OS?
I mean is Linux using some features of eCos operating system to Support
the BSP?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards,
Mukund jampala

eCos does not need anything from Linux. However, for
simulation/testing purposes it is possible to run eCos as a process on
a Linux machine. This is not the normal setup, you normally run it on
the bare metal.
