I had the same problem with an assabet board though. 
For this board you can download the image for the gdb stubs via a JTAG
cable using a programmer running on a PC. I was using Linux for developemt
and a laptop for downloading the image file for gdb stubs onto the board.
The laptop was not networked so i had to move the image file on a floppy.
What proved to be the problem was the floppy disk itself. If you download
a corrupted image file nothing will work.

Also try to use some ready made binary from the eCos site to test if this
is working properly on the board.
I am not familiar with the board your are working with but can you
download an image using the serial port ?

So make sure the image is right  an it is downloaded right. 

good luck,
