Is the code loading into the right location? Look inside the makefile to
find out where the code should go. In "Survival"'s MAKEFILE, there's the
line:

LINKER = -Xlinker -Map -Xlinker $(MAPFILE) -Xlinker -Ttext -Xlinker 80100000

In this case use the address 0x80100000 for "code address" in the MIPS
Linker panel in Project Settings.

I haven't tried running with the debugger yet.

I'm thinking of modifying some of the examples to use the I/O functions to
download the files from the host, anyway, because the lack of batch
downloading on the Mac is driving me nuts!
