Do you have a "gdbinit" file in the directory where you are running GDB from?

yes i do, i created one with notepad++ and named it gdbinit.cfg with the following stuff in it.

target remote :3333
mon reset halt
flushregs
thb app_main
c

So then the GDB argument would be "-x gdbinit.cfg", right?

thanks a lot that was it, my debugger is running now :D
