ecosconfig import

The gui tool has a similar functionality.

eCos images contain both the eCos and the application statically
linked together. There is no concept of just a kernel and a shell
which you can use to load other applications.

What Nick is refering to us an application image which does the real
application, as opposed to a RedBoot image which is just a bootloader.
