Hi Kyle, Thanks, it's very good to know I could fall back to CCSv5 for U-Boot and kernel init debugging. I still hope I will not have to do that as I feel the command line approach is a more natural and productive fit. I am waiting for feedback from TI and I will post again if I can make any progress on this.
