The original EDB9301 patch that Cirrus released was just enough to get 
RedBoot running, but not enough for a full-blown eCos, multithreaded 
app. Cirrus later released (in the fall of 2004, I believe) a more 
complete implementation, though still somewhat lacking. Both had 
modifications to JFFS2. Be sure to get the latest patch from Cirrus.

I added some code and device drivers to their implementation. If you 
guys can get the Cirrus code into the eCos CVS, I'll gladly submit my 
additions.

I just looked at their site, and believe that they've now hidden the 
patches behind a registration/login for their eval boards. I was working 
with a 3rd party board and don't have access. What to do?
