Like Tim, I too tried the obvious and typed the commands. There's 
something incompatible between the redboot images in CVS and the EB40 eval 
board.

So I decided to rebuild the redboot images. Unfortunately, the latest gcc 
chokes. So I went back to 2.95.2 with the ecos-gcc-2952.patch. This at 
least compiles the redboot code cleanly. And, more importantly, the 
downloaded image shows some sign of life.

Now the symptom I have is that minicom spews garbage as I type characters. 
The obvious problem is that the baud rate is wrong. Unfortunately, I tried 
*every* baud rate in addition to the 38.4K 8N1. It almost suggests that 
the Evaluation board is using a non-standard baud rate. Hmm. It's time to 
hook up the scope... (unless of course, someone can point out what's 
obviously wrong!).
