Apologies for not getting back to you earlier.

We have finally got the debugger fully working.

Our setup: Yaroze at 115200 bps.

to the siocons prompt, type rdb; then quit from siocons.

on the PC: enter the debugger by typing <gdb>,
then type <start>. 

To check that things are working:
try 'load <executable-file-name>' to the gdb prompt.

We are working on making a large document on the debugger,
how to set up and use etc, which we will post to the
website.


Hope this helps a little
