What is strange is that if I quit gdb and then launch kermit at once
without resetting the board, then redboot is there responding to
commands such as 'version'. It looks like if redboot is prepared to
execute basic commands but not to talk to gdb...
About the serial settings, I did not find any gdb command allowing to
change anything but the baudrate. I know that the speed is correct
(38400) but have no idea concerning the others parameters (parity,
etc.).
