The configuration of an eCos system is saved in a .ecc file. This is normally called ecos.ecc by ecosconfig, but the configtool can give it other names. The save and load in the configtool operate on this file, loading and saving the current configuration. The ecos.ecc file is quite big, 1/2 MByte is typical since it contains a lot of information. .ecm file contains the differences between the current configuration and the default configuaration for a particular template. This is much smaller than the .ecc file becasue you typically only change a few configuration options. The export command will generate such an .ecm file and import will apply the list of changes to the current configuration.
