Right, but this is a different discussion -- as per ticket #46
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/46">http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/46</a>), about getting the Marvell code under
NDA to someone for porting.
Previously, there was no known suitable (free) porting target. Now eCOS
has emerged as one.

<br>
Any other suitable open source rtos ?<br>
<br>
Do the licenses linked to above, meet the requirements ?<br>
<br>
Michail, what are the deadlines ?<br>
<br>
I know the group head of ICT Engineering (Information and
Communications Technology)<br>
has had a talk with the local Marvell rep on getting an NDA signed.<br>
<br>
I'll have a talk with him at the open day on the 3rd and see if we can
get this sped up.<br>
Unfortunately a lot of companies here shutdown for summer holidays
until the end of janurary , so<br>
we'll have to see what we can do.<br>
(summer school holidays 13 dec - 3rd feb)<br>
(uni holidays end of nov - march - full three months for students)<br>
<br>
I'm an interested in having a go but can not commit to any deadlines as
am working<br>
full time for a research lab/company until the end of January<br>
on license plate recognition systems and deployments.<br>
<br>
May be better placed to assist with testing of a driver<br>
as we have a full communications testing lab which is not currently
being<br>
utilised. Have equipment for up to 50GHz.<br>
<br>
Has anyone started looking at repeaters or message box storage or
internet gateways yet ?<br>
