This should work.

How did you change the startup type?  If you are using 'ecosconfig' (i.e. _not_
using the Windows ConfigTool), then you'll need to rerun 'ecosconfig tree'.

Also, be sure and clean your build/install tree after any such change.
  # make clean
  # make

If you've done all this, does it turn on the "DIAG" LED?  This is only turned
on in software, and shows that the eCos hardware initialization code has finished.
