Hi -

For the 'g' and 'm' query packets, it seems like a response packet
starting with "$E..."  is entirely valid, if the register contents or
memory region starts with a 0xE0-0xEF byte.  But remote.c:remote_send()
seems to interpret $E... anything as an error, and send_g_packet() uses
this one.

Am I misreading the code or the specs?

Have the stub return lowercase hex digits [0-9a-z], like 0xe0-0xef
to work around it.
