>Description:
I cannot establish connection to the target. I have two serial ports. I use com1 for the monitor (mtty) and com3 (don't have com2 abailable) for debugging. When triying to connect to com3 (with "target remote /dev/com3") I get the following message:
"Ignoring packet error, continuing..."
"Couldn't establish connection to remote target. 
Malformed response to offset query, timeout"
