  Using OcdLibRemote with a wiggler clone interface, the only times I have 
got 'Cable Disconnected' was when really the cable was disconnected or the 
board not powered up. Main troubles have been when I mess the gdb set up.

  That's weird. However, I have heard that with a number of ARM chips. Have 
you tried connecting nRESET to nTRST? That way the whole CPU starts in a 
predefined way. I mostly use that configuration when possible.

  ???

  That works right for me. Have you tried playing with the compiler 
optimizations?

  The wiggler + remote gdb has indeed some glitches. But that can be said 
of most of the debuggers and tools out there. From our experience, most of 
the time the interface does its job right.

  Regards.
