What do you expect it to do? You haven't downloaded any code to run,
so when you type continue it tries to re-execute a breakpoint.

On other targets, that would result in a hit-breakpoint message on the
same address, but there might be some problem on the edb7212
preventing this.

Anyway, after the connect, download a test, then type continue.
