Hi,

It seems it was here

Contexts]

Usually interrupt handlers are created, attached and configured during
system initialization, while global interrupts are still disabled. On
most hardware it will also be necessary to call cyg_interrupt_unmask,
since the sensible default for interrupt masking is to ignore any
interrupts for which no handler is installed.

Look around
% grep cyg_drv_interrupt_unmask $ECOS_REPOSITORY/devs

So, in the most cases you do not need to enable interrupts "by hands" if
you use eCos kernel, otherwise, take a look on these eCos tests (== eCos
standards)

  kernel/current/tests/kintr0.c
