[ECOS] Off to the races

[Chuck McManis <ecos at mcmanis dot com>]

Well I must say that after getting redboot set up the way I wanted actually 
building a program and debugging it on the target was a _lot_ easier.

I built and ran basic1 in no time, it took a while to figure out how to get 
gdb to work on it remotely (target remote <ipaddr>:9000) I tried 'target 
cisco <ip>:9000' which gave me the RedBoot prompt but it wouldn't let me 
send breaks. I tried that because the message in gdb for help target remote is
"debug a remote computer via serial line" but in fact it considers telnet 
to be a sort of serial line.

Anyway, now I'm a pretty happy camper in terms of being able to configure 
and boot applications on my target PC. Next steps are find a Realtek based 
network driver for the EPIA-M series motherboard and figure out the flash 
driver. Oh and figure out how to hook ctrl-alt-del on the keyboard back 
into the reset vector. This running around to push the reset button is 
getting old fast :-)
