eCosCentric: The Advantages of Using a "Free" RTOS
Paul Beskeen, Chairman & Director of Business Development at eCosCentric, discusses the advantages of the 'free' / 'open source' eCOS real-time operating system or RTOS.
Compared to proprietary licensing models, open source licenses in general provide more freedom.
Users of the eCos RTOS benefit from the freedom to customize the RTOS, and freedom from various license fee requirements.
Source code for all eCos runtime packages is included in all releases of eCosPro.
Engineers have complete freedom to inspect, instrument, modify and customize the code as they see fit. None of the eCosPro licenses require any royalties or product fees to be paid.
You may develop as many designs, and ship as many units as you wish, with no requirement for external audit, unit reporting, or additional payments.
