Hi,
I have a similar problem of connecting to the target through GDB using serial.

I have checked both my ports and they are working fine. 
Could you please tell me how this could be resolved?

Here is what I have done.
I have tried connecting GDB in two ways:
1. I have first got the o/p on HyperTerminal and then I disconnect and connect the GDB on the port.
2. I don't open the Hyperterminal et all, I test my target uing ping and when my target replies, I know its booted and try connecting to it through GDB. 

I am able to get the RedBoot> prompt on both the HyperTerminals when I connected to both the COM ports one at a time. Does this confirm that I can connect to the GDB using this port..?

In both the above cases, I get the same error. I have surfed through the mailing lists if some one got a similar kind of error, but I couldn't find a satisfactory reply.

I am using V2.0.2 ConfigTool with latest eCos package (dt: 28-06-01) and my target is a PC. Host is running WinNT. I have built redboot with importing floppy.ecm.

Thanks in Advance,
Sateesh.
