 167 >The &micro;ITRON specification
 168 defines a highly flexible operating system architecture designed
 169 specifically for application in embedded systems. The specification addresses
 170 features which are common to the majority of processor architectures and
 171 deliberately avoids virtualization which would adversely impact
 172 real-time performance. The &micro;ITRON specification
 173 may be implemented on many hardware platforms and provides significant
 174 advantages by reducing the effort involved in understanding and
 175 porting application software to new processor architectures. </P
 176 ><P
 177 >Several revisions of the &micro;ITRON specification exist.
 178         In this release, <SPAN
 179 CLASS="emphasis"

 181 CLASS="EMPHASIS"
 182 >eCos</I
 183 ></SPAN
 184 > supports the
 185         &micro;ITRON version 3.02 specification, with complete
 186         &#8220;Standard functionality&#8221; (level S), plus many
 187         &#8220;Extended&#8221; (level E) functions. The definitive
 188         reference on &micro;ITRON is Dr. Sakamura&#8217;s book:
