As far as I know, it's not been done before (porting eCos to a 16 bit
processor), but the design is for this to be feasible.  That said, 
expect it to be some work, since it'll be the first time.

What would you want to do with this device?  What sort of software
would you be running?  I'm just asking to get a feel if eCos is the
right solution for you.
