[ECOS] Running an application - How to continue without gdb

["Bahadir Balban" <bbbalb at essex dot ac dot uk>]

Hi there,

When I compile a simple, stand alone program without ecos, after downloding to RAM, it continues to run on my E7T, even if I deattach the serial cable (I mean gdb). But with ecos it doesn't. It stops as soon as I deattach gdb.
How do I make it continue to run without control of gdb, after the download? (In fact it doesn't need gdb to be able to run I think)

If this is achiveable, I also want to use the serial port by which gdb has downloaded my program. 

What I mean is, I will download and start it using gdb, and then deattach the serial cable, and use the same serial port for my application. I know that it is obviously not possible to do this while gdb is communicating with the target from same channel, but this case is different as you see. Is this possible? (i.e. does redboot block that channel even if there's no gdb on that channel anymore?)

Thank you.
Bahadir
