ADS will only talk to a board if the board is running the debugger
monitor called Angel. Make sure you have the monitor running on the
board.
If you don't have the monitor (as must be the case on a new, clean,
custom board) you will need to find a way of putting something in
the flash of your board (I assume you have some flash.) We did that
with a flash emulator here, other people do that using the JTAG
port.
If you do have the monitor (as must be the case on a newly unpacked
board coming from ARM), then I don't know, I personally never managed
to connect ADS to anything... so good luck :-)

HTH anyway,
Yves
