The fact you are mentioning those extensions seems to indicate confusion -
those extensions are only likely to be relevant for RedBoot itself but you
say RedBoot's already on your board, so you don't have to do anything with
any other RedBoot files.

Any applications you've built in ecos will be in ELF format and can be
downloaded just by selecting it with File->Open, setting a breakpoint if
you like, probably opening the console window with View->Console to see any
output, and then hitting the Run button which should both download and run
your program.
