[ECOS] Re: reset board automatically

[Jose Paul <jose at exorindia dot com>]

Hi Jonathan Larmour ,

We are not able to stop the loading process(loading of program to hardware)
after it started loading.
Even ctrl-c cannot stop loading,so inorder to stop loading we are compelled
to kill the GDB manually
and then reset the board manually.We have  to some way avoid resetting the
board
manuallyand also provide
the feature to stop loading.We are not able to send GDB kill command when
the loading is in progress.

Please help.

Thanks,
Jose
