First of all, you should only use a .ecm file which suits your needs.
If you are trying to build RedBoot for some PC based platform, then
only use one of the files in hal/i386/pc/... The .ecm files are just
shorthand anyway, but you need to use them carefully.
I can see no reason to ever use the redboot_XXX.ecm file and I'm going
to remove it since I think it can only cause confusion (as it apparently
already has).
As for ecosconfig (command line) vs. ConfigTool (GUI) - this is one of
those "religious" questions - there is no *right* answer, only
viewpoints. I personally prefer the CLI version, but they are 100%
equivalent. Use whichever one you wish.
