Ah, I see. Do you know if it is the same deal if it boots from USB? (Again, I will look into this tonight.) > What I have done is to configure a 1G SD card that my 7260 boots from.

I have never used gcc that was hosted on a 7200 board (seems like it would be slow and waste flash write-cycles,) but i have used gdb on the board (don't remember if I recompiled it using crosstools or if it came with the debian-arm dist...) I also had remote gdb set up, but then I realized there is no benefit to using remote gdb on this type of system. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
