OK, I've just tried this all out myself. Admittedly using a STM3210C
rather than an E board, but there should be no differences at this
level. I used the serial4 test built for RAM startup and I was running
from a SuSE 11.0 host system.

Appended are the trace from ser_filter and my entire GDB session. As
you can see, it all seems to be working for me. Take a look at these
and see if there is anything I'm doing that you are not, or vice
versa.

Note that the set remotebaud and set remote memory-write-packet-size
may not have much effect, I would leave them out.
