Hi David,

When I looked at the various RSP dialogs a few months ago, I found the
error code values were pretty much always ignored at the client end.

I'll be submitting some updates to the GDB manuals in the near future,
but in the meantime there is information in my application note on using
RSP: http://www.embecosm.com/download/ean4.html.

HTH,


Jeremy
