Hi,
I am monica from germany. I have a newbie query.
what is the difference between eCos and redboot?
eCos is a full-featured RTOS kernel with BSD network stacks and
all the usual RTOS features (mutexes, msg queues, semaphores,
several different schedulers, time-slicing, etc.).
RedBoot is a bootloader. It's single-threaded and does all
it's I/O using polling.
The documentation means redboot as a bootstrap environment.
Yup. You can use RedBoot to boot any applications using any OS
or executable image. It's currently used to boot Linux on a
lot of embedded systems.
But how can ecos run without redboot bootstrap?
Use a different bootloader or just burn the eCos application
into flash and run it from there.
