Hello and welcome to the community!

There is no such thing as an 'ECOS package'. The ECOS support is built-in into the library. All you have to do is setting GFX_USE_OS_ECOS to TRUE in your configuration file.

About the master-slave: I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. When you want to have your GUI running on the master and the slave is just a passive terminal (the actual screen with touchscreen), this can be done easily. uGFX supports remote displays through the uGFXnet driver.

An ecos package has not been built. It is on the todo list but is not high priority.

For now ugfx is treated as an application.

Tectu's answer above gives you the basics of that. Also look at the code in the boards/base/ecos... directory.

If you want a cpu connected as a remote display you can use the ugfxnet display driver and the corresponding display client but replace the networking with SPI code.

Alternatively you could write a new display driver based on one of the existing spi controllers and have the other device emulate that display
