Hi Andy,

Please download the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot from our site.
gdb should be able to connect properly to the board after you upgrade
your dll.

What exactly do you mean by "will not step"?

BTW, the latest gdb snapshot has Grant's patches incorporated.

At least a few of us are using it with no major problems.
Please let me know if you still have problems after the updates.
You can e-mail me directly.  Please send me the exact versions of what
compiler, gdb, cygwin dll you are using.  What you see on your screen
will also help.

Fernando
