Hi

Stuart is quite right. It's not possible to play with eCos *Linux*
synthetic target on Cygwin. But, you can get eCos working for some PC*
targets either for Qemu or VMware H/W emulators. I never try Qemu on
win32 hosts, I use it on Linux host as well, but, I guess it's possible.
For Qemu I usually use eCos 'pc_rltk8139' target (Qemu has support for
this Realtek NIC), for VMware you can try eCos 'pc_vmWare' PC target
with AMD Lance PCI NIC.

Seek the list around Qemu/VMware keywords to get more clues.
