Hi all I have connected successfully to target mechine which is booted in Redboot, using i386-elf-gdb through ethernet. when i issued the "load" command, it seems that after some point of time the Target is getting hanged. I repeated this a number of times and all trials gave me the same result. I tired it over serial connection..at that time the Target mechines console displayed some characters in multiple collors and it get's hanged. In both the above mentioned cases...at the host side connection is getting time out. I rebooted the target.I'm not getting the expected output. The application i compailed is the helo.c given along with eCos repository. It should display "Hello eCos World" on the console. Where's I am now? Am I successfull in down loading the image to target?Why the Target is getting hanged? The file i tried to transfer to the target is a.out . One more doubt.. Which is the executable format for i386 Target? .out .exe or .SREC ? Some body please help me Thanks in advance Regards George _________________________________________________________ Click below to visit monsterindia.com and review jobs in India or Abroad http://monsterindia.rediff.com/jobs -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://sources.redhat.com/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss
