At this point the LCD and backlight are powered and enabled but the 
controller isn't DMAing.

At this point, the LCD controller starts generating sync and squirting data.

For interest's sake, try doing memcmp(0, 0xc0000000, 0x60). If these bytes 
are all the same then my theory is right about mem being mirrored.

Well, I'm using the Windows graphical config tool. All I did was enable 
this option. Note also that I am using eCos 1.3.1, ie the latest "full 
release" rather than a snapshot. LCD might be broken in the latest version.

Also check that the amount of installed RAM known to eCos is the same as 
that installed on your board. (I don't know if there are multiple versions 
of the board).
