I fixed the cabling issue and was able to get iMPACT working in windows. I set a hyperterminal with a baud rate of 115200 and connected it to the serial port. I then downloaded the pre-build RevD download.bit file using iMPACT. I tried both letting the board boot to the U-Boot> prompt and hitting 's' to load an SREC image.
I performed all the commands given in xmd. After type 'con', I don't see any change on my serial console. I tried hitting reset on the board, no change.
Let me know what I'm doing wrong. I'm in the process of switching to a full CentOS laptop so I can do all this in linux instead of windows. Also, the SVN failed on download, so I did all of the above using 0.30.
Thanks!
