Re: GDB startup session with Eclipse

I'm still working on the GDB startup management in my stub. The log of the sent commands is the following :

Deleting socket.

And here is the log received in Eclipse (send by GDB I think) :

0x40001258 in ?? ()
In Extended remote serial target in gdb-specific protocol,
#0  0x40001258 in ?? ()
target extended-remote localhost:3000
load
Invalid download offset: Eclipse/Blink/blink_ram_noflush.
info remote-process
Undefined info command: "remote-process".  Try "help info".
mi_cmd_env_cd: Usage DIRECTORY
kill

1 - What is the real purpose of the '!' command (I'm french and I don't understand weel the explanation in the GDB documentation).

2 - Is qSymbol mandatory ? What is a symbol and what are their use ?

3 - Why GDB sends me a 'k' command ? Yet, I'm assuming there is no running software in my AT697 to kill. I just want to connect to GDB and make my board enter in debug mode in order to load my application in my board using GDB. Am I right ?

4 - Why GDB closes the TCP/IP socket at the end of this exchange ?

Thanks a lot for your answers which will be very usefull to me :)

Make sure you have the encapsulation and checksumming right.

Try 'set debug serial 1' and 'set debug remote 1'.
