You are confusing two very different eCos targets: the synthetic
target and the PC target. If you want to use the synthetic target,
i.e. run eCos on top of Linux, then there is no need for a boot
monitor with gdb debug support. Hence RedBoot is not supported.
If instead you want to run eCos on a bare PC then RedBoot can be very
useful.

To configure eCos for a PC target, use:

  ecosconfig new pc <template>

instead of

  ecosconfig new linux <template>
