Hi Jason,
                    Some good news. I switch the GDB command set from mi to 
mi1, and it seems to be working now. 

What I did is added the kgdbwait command to the bootargs as follows (not sure 
if it was necessary, but will try once again without it)

setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=${console} vram=12M omapfb.vram=0:4M 
omapfb.mode=dvi:${dvimode} omapdss.def_disp=${defaultdisplay} 
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait kgdb=${console} 
kgdboc=${console} kgdbwait'

Then I launched the debugger, and it did something, and resumed normally. 

Then I manually went to the console and activated kgdb by typing 

echo g > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This caused the debugger on the Eclipse side to process something, and then it 
stopped in file kgdb.c at the call to arch_kgdb_breakpoint(), in the following 
method:

void kgdb_breakpoint(void)
{
        atomic_set(&kgdb_setting_breakpoint, 1);
        wmb(); /* Sync point before breakpoint */
        arch_kgdb_breakpoint();
        wmb(); /* Sync point after breakpoint */
        atomic_set(&kgdb_setting_breakpoint, 0);
}

I can now clearly see all the registers and variables in Eclipse. 

Question 02: sys_sync doesn't seem to be called in the ARM arch files, it only 
exists for x86 and sparc architectures.

Is there any other kernel file I can set a break-point into, to be able to 
check if everything is working ok?

For example, if I type a normal cd or ls command? 

Best regards,

Elvis
