I had tried porting eCos to the original TS-7200 board when it first
came out. Redboot uses a subset of eCos, but just the hardware layer,
not the scheduler. 

Apparently Cirrus did a port for their eval board which is similar to
the TS-7200, but they never released it publicly - or at least
wouldn't drop their copyright so that it could be included with the
eCos distribution.

A recent rumor was that Cirrus dropped their internal development
project for eCos (and possibly even Linux). There were some promises
that they would release the code, but I never heard anything.

So eCos isn't an option on these boards unless you want to do the port
yourself. For more background, just search on "eCos" in this group, or
on the eCos discussion board:
    http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/

If you need an RTOS and low latency, consider a different board with
out-of-the-box support.
