EBCS is a long term project started in 1998 while I was doing the plumbery and putting up the tiles in my bathroom. I had the idea to have the bathroom elements automatically controlled by a small system. It was just for fun, and for the interest in doing that.

This project depends on two others project that I started. First, I needed a C compiler, so I ported the GNU Development Chain for 68HC11. Second, I needed to burn an eprom, so I designed my own eprom programmer. Well, all this explains why it took so long to get it in my bathroom (3 years!!!).

Feb 24, 2002	Installation of EBCS v0.6 in the bathroom (compiled with GCC 3.0.3).
Jan 13, 2002	Installation of EBCS v0.5 in the bathroom (compiled with GCC 3.0.2).
Nov 24, 2001	Installation of EBCS v0.4 in the bathroom (compiled with GCC 3.0.2).
Aug 2001	Design EBCS software for controlling LCD panel and triac board, measuring temperature and humidity.
Jul 2001	Burn first Eprom for EBCS (not installed in bathroom yet).
Mai 2001	Made the EBCS sensor module.
Apr 2001	Design the EBCS Sensor module.
Sep 2000	Made the PPEP board.
Aug 2000	Design the PPEP to burn the 27256 EPROM of EBCS.
March 2000	Made the Power control, I/O board and LCD module.
Jan 2000	Design the EBCS LCD module with Eagle.
Dec 1999	Design the EBCS I/O board with Eagle.
Nov 1999	Design the EBCS Power control module with Eagle.
Mai 1999	Made the 68HC11 board, tested with bootstrap mode and 8K ram.
Apr 1999	Preliminary version of the C compiler, assembler, linker, debugger and simulator (arround GNU tools).
Nov 1999	Design of my 68HC11 board with Eagle.
Aug 1998	Preliminary idea to create EBCS arround a 68HC11 (need a board, sensors, a C compiler, ...)
