What you are getting on the screen is the GDB stub reporting what it
is sending out of COM1. This means that the monitor floppy is up and
running.

You now need to connect COM1 of your target machine to a serial port
on your host machine using a null modem. You should now be able to run
GDB on the host and connect it via the serial line to the GDB stubs in
the target.

If you have built a standard RAM configuration of ecos and all the test
programs you can now download any of the tests (I would use tm_basic
for a demo) and run them in the ususal way.
