Hi,

at the moment i write some code to implement a
remote GDB server.  I suspect that the program
i download into a target is changed somehow.

Can i somehow easily "compare" the downloaded
program?

Something like:

bash# arm-unknown-elf-gdb main.elf
(gdb) target remote localhost:2000  // connect to target
(gdb) load main.elf
(gdb) compare_downloaded_file main.elf


Is something like this possible?

Can i somehow write a region of memory as binary into a
file?


Regards,
Torsten.
