I am unfamiliar with ecos or micrium, and I assume they are operating systems? Could someone explain what they are, and what I need to execute to get them working for my board?

Mircrium is the company that distributes Micro-C/OS-II. I don't know that much about ecos but uC/OS-II is a very small OS that's easy to port. You can't really compare it to Linux, it has much fewer features and drivers but on the flipside you can run it on tiny processors, really depends on what you're after. We have the full version of NIOS so it's just a matter of selecting the uc/OS-II option when setting up the project in the IDE. I'm not sure if the lesser versions of NIOS allow that as well but probably they do. Andrew
