The Embedded Configurable Operating System is a real-time operating system designed for embedded systems. It was developed in 1997 by Cygnus Solutions, which was bought by Red Hat in 1999. By 2002, Red Hat stopped supporting eCos and at the request of the developers handed over the rights to the Free Software Foundation. The handover was completed in 2008. Written in C and C++, it also has APIs for both POSIX and µITRON. It runs on numerous hardware platforms including ARM, Hitachi H8 and MIPS. It is free and open-source, and released under the eCos License, a modified version of the GNU GPL.
Proprietary network protocols, traffic routers, user interface, internal routing of packages between blocks from one station, monitoring of reliability of digital user streams and mechanisms for reserving streams. The central block of an SDH radio relay station for monitoring and managing a microcontroller via a web interface has been reworked.
