+// Purpose:       This provides generic startup code for the eCos system.
+// Description:   We start the system with the entry point cyg_start()
+//                which is called from the eCos HALs. This in turn invokes
+//                cyg_prestart(), cyg_package_start() and cyg_user_start().
+//                All these can be overriden by the user.
+// Usage:         Override the defaults to use your own startup code.
+//                cyg_user_start() is the default entry point for programs
+//                not using a compatibility layer
