MCF5485EVB Board Console problems

Chris,

can you successfully execute one of the "sample" applications built for
this board, like "ticker.exe" ?
These applications should be present in your "install" tree since you
haven't disabled them explicitly in your configure line.

Are you working with a real "mcf5484FireEngine" board or is it different
in some areas?

Which boot monitor do you use?

wkr,
Thomas.
