First, to build a ROM image, you need to change the startup type of eCos.
You can do this in the graphical Configuration tool by changing the Startup
type listed under the HAL in question. Or if you are using pkgconf.tcl,
simply reinvoke it in the same build tree with "--startup rom".

As for the sample makefile, you can start with the one in the examples/
directory of the eCos installation, although it isn't perfect by any stretch
of the imagination.

Is that the type of answer you are looking for?
