Hi

While working with Hypercom, I'd had the pleasure of helping to
implement eCos onto power-Pc platform.
Notable mods we'd made, but not published, were to the memory caching
macros (have an explanation for why the flush macros "did not seem to
work", and a variation of the dlmalloc that allowed us to track
instances of dynamic memory loss/corruption). Those solutions were
internally focused - ie. not made for general consumption, which is why
I gather that they were not published.
Since that company has recently decided to "go in a different
direction", I'm no longer restricted from making such changes suitable
for general consumption. What are the guide lines for doing so?
Thank you for your interest in contributing your work. The procedure is
described here:
