$ ecosconfig new at91sam7sek minimal
U CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_AT91, new inferred value AT91SAM7S
U CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_AT91_FIQ, new inferred value 1
lunn@londo:~/eCos/work$ ecosconfig add i2c

This is as about as small as you can get without digging too deep.
Yes, it can be smaller, but that requires more understanding of eCos.

There is no ADC support for AT91SAM7 platforms at the moment. You will
need to write your own driver.

Also, remember that you need to use arm-elf-size to look at the
code/data size, not the size of the elf image.
