This should work. How did you change the startup type? If you are using 'ecosconfig' (i.e. _not_ using the Windows ConfigTool), then you'll need to rerun 'ecosconfig tree'. Also, be sure and clean your build/install tree after any such change. # make clean # make If you've done all this, does it turn on the "DIAG" LED? This is only turned on in software, and shows that the eCos hardware initialization code has finished.
