When I use the 'load' command, how should I proceed? I'm using 'kermit' as
my terminal. After issuing 'load', I should close the connection and
transmit the file? I tried this but it didn't work. I have only one serial
port on the board.

That's all I get with the debug messages:

gdb_config:5: Error in sourced command file:
You can't do that when your target is `exec'

It's timing out! I'm setting the baud rate to the proper value - 57600 -
(in the GDB prompt) before trying to download the file.

Thanks,
