What does it look like from minicom (or any other terminal emulator)?
Resetting the board should output a string starting with $T. If that
doesn't happen, it may be that the endian selection in your programmer
is wrong (i.e., the flash ends up holding the stub in the wrong endian
mode, preventing execution).

Probably because (a) it's been a while since that stub was built or
(b) some unecessarry packages were removed from the configuration.
