RE: [ECOS] Simple serial program

Yes, I've got two builds with everything the same except one is RAM, and
the other ROM.

Thanks Jonathan, I'll try the conversion once I get things working
again.  Right now it's not even working with GDB again because I messed
with some header files directly in the kernel source.  BAD idea if you
don't mark it down somewhere.

You need to convert it to binary format, not strip it. Do this with

arm-elf-objcopy -O binary serial.exe serial.sre

Also when rebuilding the eCos kernel, I'd advise doing this in a new
build directory.
