[OpenOCD-user] Stellaris Launchpad with GDB load error

[Sean de la H. <se...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am trying to load and run a project on a Stellaris Launchpad with OpenOCD
0.7.0.  I am able to load and execute code from the TivaWare examples with
the GDB that is part of Sourcery CodeBench 2012.03.  Here is the version
string for this version:
GNU gdb (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.03-56) 7.2.50.20100908-cvs

When I try to use a version of GDB that I cross compiled in Gentoo Linux, I
am able to connect and read/write registers, but loading flash fails.  Here
is the version string for this version:
GNU gdb (Gentoo 7.6 p1) 7.6

Both share the same configuration options:
This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--target=arm-none-eabi".

Here is the debug log from the error:

Are there limitations in the version of GDB that should be used with
OpenOCD?  Did I configure GDB wrong when I compiled it?  Is there any other
information that would be helpful?

Thanks,

Sean
