It sounds like he implemented it. I emailed him asking permission to use
that code, but haven't heard back from him yet.

Thanks for the pointer. I am now able to ping it, but wheneveer I try to
connect to it I get this type of scenario from gdb:
On the target side it spews out a bunch of decoded ethernet packets. I have
a feeling this could be somehow interfering with the tcp gdb support. Is
there a way to turn these off? Do I have to run a tftp server if gdb is
doing the connection?
Thanks.
