Platform Builder does not start download when using sboot.bin

Hi,

I'm really new to Windows CE. I'm trying the tutorials as they come with PB.
Since the hardware that I have is using an onboard Ethernet controller that
is not supported by eboot, I'm trying to download and boot the system using
sboot.bin, following the instructions in the Tutorial: Building a Run-Time
Image for a CEPC

When trying to download an image to the CE device by choosing Target->Attach
Device, the windows pops up and says "Waiting to receive a download request",
but furthermore nothing happens.

When I monitor the serial port using a terminal emulator, I see the
following string repeatedly being sent:
kITL»$CEPC.
I was actually expecting the string BOOTME, and probably PB is too.

On the debug port, the following information comes out:
Microsoft Windows CE Ethernet Bootloader Common Library Version 1.0 Built
Apr 17
2003 23:55:10
Microsoft Windows CE Serial Bootloader for CE/PC (Apr 18 2003)
Comm Port initialized @ 0x2F8
System ready!
Preparing for download...
Sending boot request...
Waiting for boot ack...
failed to receive header signature
failed to receive header

What am I doing wrong? Suggestions are apprciated

John,
Can I get you to confirm a few things?

1) COM Port being used is NOT the debug port but the other one
2) The Baud rate and flow control settings for the specific port are correct
3) Sboot.bin on the device is the correct version



Also, the below output in the terminal emulator usually indicates baud rate
not being correct.

"When I monitor the serial port using a terminal emulator, I see the
following string repeatedly being sent:
kITL»$CEPC."


Thanks,
Shane
