I am not clear about what you said, here are some questions I am not sure:

1. My target board [AT91/EB40] have redboot only. Can I build a application
and then run it on the target board?
Which file formats can I load them to the target board via redboot[hyper
terminal]? .bin / .elf/ .img / .srec / .out

2. As you said, if I want to build tests, I need to use a new empty build
directory and then select other template [not redboot]. Do I need to switch
the redboot to GDB mode [type # at the redboot command prompt] before I run
those tests using config. tool?

3. I found that there are only 3 templates [cygmon, stub, redboot] in the
config. tool can generate the image files in the bin directory. All of the
other templates just have the include and lib in the untitled_install
directory.
If my target board have redboot only, how can I load the ecos to the target
board and then run it on the redboot?

Thanks for your help! : )
