Not sure about this. It may be possible to get an already running 
program under GDB's control, but the normal way is that the debugger 
uploads the code to the target during startup. This requires to 
initialize the SDRAM by the debugger, which is not trivial.

After "go 0x20000000", do you see any serial port output? Otherwise make 
sure to use the right DB9 connector.
