That $T packet indicates that you have hit the breakpoint in main. But
unless you have enabled remote protocol debugging within GDB, you shouldn't
have seen that - it's part of the underlying protocol. And then of course
you could be able to continue the program from the breakpoint by typing
"continue" - I assume this isn't happening?

Hi :
    Thank you for your reply!! I describe my steps
1. Reset my borad by pressing the reset buttom.
2. Run powerpc-eabi-gdb
3. press the 'RUN' buttom
4. select the hello.exe I want to debug
5. select target Remote TCP & set breakpoint at main
6. download OK & I see my serial console print $T ...
7. I can't do anything but press the stop buttom on powerpc-eabi-gdb
8. powerpc-eabi-gdb get no response from from by board & dettach from it.

But if step 5. I select Remote serial , then everything will be OK. I can
stop
the hello program at main and run step by step.
What problem may it happen?? Is my ethernet driver's problem?? or something
??
What point may I check??

Thanks very much!!
