eCosCentric Ltd. has released new versions of its eCosPro Developer's Kit for IA32, PPC, ARM, Coldfire, and SuperH platforms, with a fully supported and tested PPP stack chief among new features.

The eCosPro Developer's Kit consists of:

• eCosPro, which eCosCentric calls “a stable, fully tested, certified, and supported version of eCos and RedBoot”
• eCos and RedBoot documentation
• graphical IDE (available Q4 2003 for selected platforms)
• prebuilt compiler toolchain (Linux or Windows based)
• prebuilt eCos host tools (Linux or Windows based)
• prebuilt RedBoot binaries
• incident and advice-line support for eCosPro and (optionally) the host tools
• additional hardware platform support not currently available for public download
• professional installer
• rolling releases and extended support options
• PPP stack add-on for the standard eCos TCP/IP package

The inclusion of a PPP stack within eCosPro is in direct response to customer demand and extends the reach of eCos into many new application areas, eCosCentric claims.

Specific platforms initially supported by the eCosPro Developer's Kit are:

• SuperH — SH4-202 MicroDev platform
• ColdFire — Motorola M5272C3 ColdFire evaluation board
• ARM — Atmel AT91EB40, AT91EB40A, AT91EB42, AT91EB55
• PowerPC — A&M Adder PPC850 board
• IA32 — i386 PC platform

Support for the Linux Synthetic Target is available on specific Linux distributions.
