eCos Sourceware release

The eCos Sourceware release consists of the archive files for GNUPro and eCos which are located on the Sourceware web site

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/

The Sourceware release does not provide PROMs for the various development boards, but the ROM images for the six supported hardware platforms are included in the distribution, so you can burn your own PROMs to work with eCos.

HTML versions of the GNUPro and eCos manuals are included in the distribution, and are also available online.

The Linux synthetic i386 target is an exception, as there is (currently) no GNUPro manual. However, the GNUPro source archive contains documentation for the tools. This documentation is usually also included as part of a default RedHat Linux installation, accessible with the info program.
