Please excuse this stupid question but I'm stuck.  Is there a step-
by-step guide on basic debugging with the JTAG-WIGGLER-GDB tools?
I downloaded the 30 day trial of crossworks and it was very easy--
compiling, debugging, you name it.  But until I can find $1000 to 
purchase it I'm going to be punishing myself leaning the free stuff.
I'm slowly making progress with the ARM and the GNU tools.  I can 
compile and load programs with the flash utility but I'm 
having 'brain lock' when dealing with the GDB tool.  This is where 
I'm at so far:

----windows command window (#1) ocdremote----
c:\cywwin\usr\local\bin>ocdremote –cARM7TDMI-S –dRAVEN –a1 –s7
OCDemon InitializeTarget Error : Not in Background

c:\cywwin\usr\local\bin>ocdremote –cARM7TDMI-S –dWIGGLER –a1 –s7
ocdremote 2.08: WIGGLER via LPT 1 at speed : 7
----strange RAVEN-WIGGLER trick to get things rolling----

----start up another command window (#2) GDB----
C:\eclipse\workspace\testgdb>arm-elf-gdb test.out

Obviously I'm missing something but I can't figure out what.  Please 
forgive me if this is one of those RTFM moments.
Thanks in advance.

I have some instructions on using the prebuilt tools for Win32:

http://www.freertos.org/portlpc2106.html

This might provide some help - not the same setup as you but could 
provide some clues.  I used Insight (GDB GUI) rather than straight 
GDB.

Regards.

Thank you for the link.  I did discover one problem--I was sending 
a 'run' command instead of a 'continue' command to get things 
started.  Apparently you need to use 'continue' with remote embedded 
targets.  This gem of info was found on a German site--thank god for 
Google language translation.  As for my setup, I was using eclipse 
but the JTAG-gdb error codes are very general.  The command windows 
are just being used until I can work out the low level bugs in my 
setup.  It seems strange that so little info is available on the 
wiggler-ocdcommander-gdb setup.  Isn't this a very common hardware 
setup?  Anyway, I'm guessing lots of people must be having the same 
problems I'm having so I plan to post a step-by-step when I get 
things working.
