Just an citation from http://ecoscentric.com/devzone/snapshots.shtml

Developers who wish to take advantage of the very latest eCos features
and ports can do so by checking out the eCos repository using CVS. For
most people, this is the best option. CVS allows users to update their
local eCos repository on an incremental basis rather than by downloading
an entirely new repository. However, some eCos users are unable to gain
access to the CVS repository due to restrictions imposed by a firewall.
For these users, eCosCentric provides weekly unsupported snapshots of
the CVS repository which can be downloaded via ftp or http.

So, follow the link the above,

Sergei
