[ECOS] problem with i386

["danish iftikhar" <d_iftikhar at hotmail dot com>]

  Hi
  i have earlier posted some information , but again i am describing things 
afresh .
  i have built ecos for i386 target pc on redhat linux . now i am trying to 
download a program to the target pc connected through a serial link at the 
specifid baud rate of 38400.
  my boot floppy shows this message on coming up which indicates it is fine 
:
           ++$T0508:......   #4b

i checked the serial ports also , i am connecting using ttyS1 on linux to 
COM1 on pc.
i checked the link using " cu -s 38400 -l /dev/ttyS1 " command & it says :
       Connected
    then it will hang somewhere , but if now i reset my target pc it 
displays :
              ++$To508: ..     something like that.

Till here things seem to be going on preety fine .
But ,now when i tried to download the program , it downloaded with the 
message :
  ignoring packet error ,continuing...

i tried downloading the prebuilt thread_gdb test as well as the hello 
executable and the same thing happened in both the cases.
it takes more than an hour to download all the three sections of the program 
& after that if given "continue " it will not work.
can anyone suggest the remedy ?

i have not enabled any serial drivers .
do i need to edit the ecos.ecc file built while making stubs .

what are the necessary options that need to be edited in ecos.ecc file of 
the kernel. right now , i have enabled CYG_HAL_STARTUP  to user value  
FLOPPY .
Does enabling the options such as :
  CYGSEM_HAL_I386_PC_DIAG_SCREEN
  CYGDBG_HAL_DEBUG_GDB_INCLUDE_STUBS

  is also necessary ? what are the options necessary ?
  If so , in which ecos.ecc should i enable these options , the one built 
for kernel or the one for stubs .

  regards
  danish.
