Do you mean you have written a new HAL and you now what the GUI to be
able to use it in a configuration? 

I've never actually done this, but i think you need to edit the
ecos.db in the packages directory. You see entries like


target ebsa285 {
        alias { "Intel EBSA285 StrongARM board" ebsa }
        packages { CYGPKG_HAL_ARM
                   CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_IO_PCI
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_INTEL_I82559
                   CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVICES_WATCHDOG_ARM_EBSA285
                   CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_EBSA285
        }
        description "
        The ebsa285 target provides the packages needed to run
        eCos on an Intel EBSA285 StrongARM board."
}

I think you need to add a new one for your platform.
