Re: [ECOS] Redboot for Excalibur (EPXA10)

[Stephan Bourduas <stephan at macs dot ece dot mcgill dot ca>]

I have a EPXA1 board and I get a similar message when programming through the 
JTAG interface.  It doesn't seem to cause any problems and I'm able to run 
the example programs without any problems.  If you don't see anything in 
Hyperterminal, you probably don't have it setup right.  My redboot image was 
compiled to use 57600, but I needed to set Hyperterminal to 115200 to get it 
to work.
