Summary: Great for Windows Users...
Review: The book is a good introduction to eCos, even though much of the book's material can be found in the eCos documentation, available on line. The sample code and accompanying explanations give the reader a leg up on building useful software; unfortunately, all the code is in C, so C++ programmers may have to do a little more digging to get their code working correctly. Finally, while the walk-throughs of installation, configuration, and building are great, they all are based on Cygwin running under Windows. A corresponding section for Linux users would be a useful plus, especially since (from a perusal of the eCos mailing list), build errors under Linux are not uncommon.All things considered, however, the book is a great buy.

Summary: Embedded Software Development using an OS
Review: This book gives a step by step method of getting an embedded system up and running using ecos OS. Explains very well in simple terminology "how to put various components together to create what you need". In short, a very good book on ecos in nutshell.

Summary: Index is worthless
Review: This is an OK book, bringing together a lot of the eCos documentation and some sage experience. However, the author did not spend very much time on the index, and this limits the usefullness of the book compared to the online documentation. For example, all of the eCos functions start with "cyg_", yet none of them appear in the index.
