RTC means real time clock. It gives you the time of day, 11.07 BST,
17/09/2003. 

eCos does not use this sort of clock. eCos uses a plain timer. These
are generally a count down register clocked by a high speed
clock. When it reaches zero, it interrupts and reloads the
counter. eCos normally sets this up to generate 100 interrupts per
second. 

So you need to change you HAL so that i uses a timer and not the RTC.
