In order to get the network part of RedBoot working you have to connect
to the com port with hyperterminal or something, and setup the network
for RedBoot.  It must be setup for direct IP access.  That means the
subnet mask and everything must be setup for use without routing of any
kind.  You can set this up by running the "fconfig" command at the
RedBoot> prompt.

I don't believe you're supposed to download the SREC format through a
GDB connection.  I could be wrong, but from what I understand, you're
supposed to compile/link your program, and then debug the executable
directly through the GDB connection to RedBoot.

I am using the RedBoot ROM image I downloaded off of the eCos website.
