Connecting Vortex86 - 6072

Hi

I am trying to connect an Vortex86-6072 - an embedded PC104 device
running Windows CE 6.0.
I have successfully built an image with WIndows Embedded 6.0, but I
have lots of problems downloading the image to the device.
The device has no Ethernet capability - only serial and host USB. I am
booting the device from a floppy and I try to use LOADCEPC.EXE TO load
the image or connect to the device using serial connection (using
sboot.bin) but without any success.
I am using different baud rates and monitoring what is coming through
the serial port. Sometimes device would respond with "failing to
receive header signature", "sending boot request", "waiting for boot
ack" . Using some other baud rates returns nothing.
Also, I noticed that loadcepc.exe reports "unknown or old version of
sboot.bin" even though I built it when I built the nk.bin.

My question is can I use serial connection to connect to 6072 at all?
The only other option that loadcepc gives me is eboot (using ethernet)
but 6072 has no ethernet connectivity. Is there any other way? I also
need to connect to the device in order to be able to do remote things
- registry etc.

Do I need an additional equipment to connect using Ethernet?

Thanks

Ivan
