No, I don't think so.  At least I've never heard of that being
done, and based on what I know of things I don't think it can
work.  Redboot is purely a "mainloop" type polling application,
and the the eCos kernel requires interrupts be enabled.

What are you trying to accomplish by including the eCos Kernel
in RedBoot?
