The software is available at: http://www.s.netic.de/tmohr/pppcb-0.4.0.tar.bz2 This version of the GDB remote protocol server is ridiculously slow, i'm still working on it. Also, i still didn't find any good documentation of the GDB remote protocol. I can download a program and start it, but when i press the "Stop" button in arm-unknown-elf-insight, i only get an empty packet. Can anybody tell me where to find better documentation for GDB remote protocol? What is going wrong with the "Stop" mechanism, why do i receive an empty message? Best regards, Torsten.
