RE: [ECOS] x86, redboot & gdb

["Morris Walton" <mwalton at telesyn dot com>]

Hi,

Yes, I am using Cygwin on the host to run gdb.  My host only has one nic,
and it seems that the load completes w/o packet error more frequently when
that nic is not very busy.  The network between my host & target is involves
several switches/routers.  The pings return at 16ms or less.
