Re: epics on ecos

[Geoff Savage <savage@fnal.gov>]

Hi,

We are assisting on a project to test rf modules and one of the groups 
already has a pc104 system running ecos.  Instead of changing their 
software they wanted to see if they could adapt EPICS.  The build 
scripts have been configured and one of the engineers familiar with ecos 
is working on the osi portion.
