You do realise that eCos is not Linux, right?

You need to use the assabet target! If this isn't supported, perhaps this
means you are using eCos 1.3.1. You instead need to use eCos from anonymous
CVS: http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html

You need to have put a ROM monitor like RedBoot on the board. You can
download redboot binaries from a link off
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/boards/assabet.html. That page also has a
link to documentation on how to program the board though it doesn't say
much.
