Because my command-line ecosconfig does not work, I tried to use graphic configtool to try the tests suggested by andrew.
But I met some problems: 1. If I want to run the eCos on the vmware, I think I need a .bin file to generate the floppy image and load to the vmware. When I use redboot, I know there is a option in the config file to choose ("Redboot ROM monitor/Redboot HAL options/Build RedBoot binary image") and I can get a bin file in the generated install folder. But without redbboot, I do not know how to generate the bin file?
2. I want to try the tests cases using configtool. but it seems the hardware platform should be connected, does it? Does that mean if I want to do the test, I should run the vmware at the same time?

Should be, but i have never done it myself. However, i would actually recommend using the synthetic target on Linux.

Redboot does not use the kernel.

I would suggest you use the kernel test cases. These are good tests to see if your changes have broken anything.
Try doing:
ecosconfig new pc_rltk8139 edit ecos.ecc and change CYG_HAL_STARTUP to floppy ecosconfig tree make -s tests
Once you have fixed all the compiler error you can run the test cases in install/tests/kernel/current.
