Hi everyone,

Am trying to load a simple hello world program after loading the
Redboot image into my LPCE2214 target(host is windows/cygwin).
The redboot image seems to be working fine.am able to ping the board
from the host and also i can ping the host from the target board
(from redboot prompt in terminal app). And here are the some redboot
command outputs for ref..

I h've compiled this hello.c using the Makefile from exapmles

arm-elf-objcopy.
I have loaded this hello.sre file using the folowing command from
windows hyperterminal redboot promt.

after loading this when i give "go" command its hanging..its coming
out of this hang state only if i reset the target.
Please correct me if am doing any thing wrong.Please suggest.


Why are you forcing the address? eCos programs are not position independent and the code needs to load at the address it was linked to run at. Try the 'load' command without the '-b XXX' option and see what happens.
