RE: RMT ERROR : failed to get remote thread list

["Peter Skvarka" <ps at softinengines dot com>]

I need to run "info threads" dgb command to see address of text section for
some running executable.
Does not exist some other way how to determine address of text section of
loaded executable ?
"info threads" is in gdb only way I know, but I dont know gdb very good. 

Thanks !
Peter

If you are using a JTAG device to talk to your target, it probably does not
support threads.  However, it looks like it is not correctly reporting that
it does not support threads.

Compare the remote protocol manual with what OpenOCD is doing, and change
OpenOCD's behavior to correctly report unsupported commands.
