If you look for old public domain release candidates (very old), just to try

$ aptitude search ecos
p   ecos                            - Deeply embedded operating system          
p   ecos-doc                        - Documentation for eCos                    
p   ecosconfig                      - eCos host-side software

aptitude install ...

You'll get the latest eCos RC before eCos 2.0.
