The '''Embedded Configurable Operating System''' ('''eCos''') is a [[free and open-source software|free and open-source]] [[real-time operating system]] intended for [[embedded system]]s and applications which need only one [[Process (computing)|process]] with [[Thread (computing)|multiple threads]]. It is designed to be customizable to precise application requirements of run-time performance and hardware needs. It is implemented in the [[programming language]]s [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]] and has [[compatibility layer]]s and [[application programming interface]]s for Portable Operating System Interface ([[POSIX]]) and The Real-time Operating system Nucleus ([[TRON project|TRON]]) variant [[ITRON project|μITRON]]. eCos is supported by popular [[Transport Layer Security|SSL/TLS]] libraries such as [[wolfSSL]], thus meeting all standards for embedded security.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.wolfssl.com/forums/topic437-solved-loadbuffer-with-nofilesystem-define-needs-filesystem.html |title=[SOLVED] load_buffer with NO_FILESYSTEM define needs filesystem?
