Thanks all for your speedy replies... i guess i took the lazy way out...
- I got me a net card
- switched over the buildroot
- used the make menuconfig to enable gdb + gdbserver
- transferred using zmodem / serial
- debug using ethernet
For another project in my head i think i'll end up being without ethernet
again (i plan to use the 120 pin connector for a custom board), so will give
the mmc method another shot then
thanks again!
