eCos on AT91SAM9 - call to action

[John Dallaway]

All

There has been a lot of delay in getting AT91SAM9 support into the eCos
repository. Far too much delay. I think the best way forward now is to
focus on Evgeniy Dushitov's contribution (port for AT91SAM9263) initially:

  http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000819

This seems sensible because:

a) The patches themselves are well abstracted.
b) Some people are already using these patches as a baseline for
   further AT91SAM9 ports.
c) There is support for running this port under QEMU, allowing
   wider testing.

I would like to invite everyone with an interest in AT91SAM9 support for
eCos to add themselves to the CC list for bug 1000819 and contribute to
the review process. Let's make this a community effort.
