debugging using bdi2000, unable to proceed.

[Omanakuttan]

We are using bdi200 for debugging linux kernel (2.4.1 and 2.4.17).
our target board is mpc8260ADS, with ppcboot 2.0.0

we are using http://www.ultsol.com/PDFS/Tool%20Talk%2002-001a.pdf as a
refernce to get bdi 2000 setup running.
Connections are made as per the document.
bdisetup is run from the host. Using the configuration file.
We used format IMAGE and file zImage and the image file  loaded to
0x400000 using bdi2000.
run ppc_82xx-gdb from the host.

The documnetation (above referneced) says that one should connect
minicom (any serial communication
program). But when we connect the BDI JTag interface, we get the message
on BDI Telnet,

- TARGET: target has entered debug mode
- TARGET: target has entered debug mode

The target is in debug mode and we cannot enter any command from
minicom/kermit.

We are struck at this point. Is there any funcamental error we are
commiting?

Any idea/poiters will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Om.
