Absolutely do not use 1.3.1 - the support for nano isn't even it it.
Get the latest CVS or a snapshot (the same thing, really)

Either work just as well.  I prefer the command line version, but it's
truly just a personal preference.

You might be better off getting RedBoot running, since that's the
configuration we tested most.
  % ecosconfig new nano redboot
  % ecosconfig import ${ECOS_REPOSITORY}/hal/arm/sa11x0/nano/current/misc/redboot_ROM.ecm
(or use redboot_POST.ecm - read the "readme" file)
  % ecosconfig tree
  % make
