Hi Nuwan,

Note: please keep the list CC'ed, so that everyone has the ability to
follow the discussion.

It's actually not very clear what you are trying to achieve here. Again:
GDB is for debugging software that runs on a microprocessor or
-controller. A CPLD in itself isn't a processor and therefore GDB
doesn't fit in your scenario. I guess that you could connect at some
point because you had some target config, which was faking a processor.

I guess (I actually don't know exactly, because I'm not into the
internals of OpenOCD) the GDB port is not opened and available (->
timeout when you try to connect to it), because you have no target
configured in your config files (we can only guess, as you didn't show
your condig file). This is correct, as the CPLD is no processor and
therefore has no target configuration.

As Freddie pointed out, you can only send SVF files to the CPLD:
-- snip --
# first define a interface and speed

jtag newtap LC4032ZE tap -irlen 8 -expected-id  0x01806043
init
svf some_file.svf
sleep 200
shutdown
-- snap --

(This is untested by me, I currently don't use OpenOCD for CPLDs/FPGAs).

I don't think that you should go on trying to get GDB working, as it is
not intended to be used for CPLDs/FPGAs. The telnet interface (on port
4444) should be what you are looking for to send commands or SVF files.

Cheers,
Manuel
