Re: transfer own data via GDB remote protocol, flash a micro

[Mark Newman <markn_46 at yahoo dot com>]

As for reading the numbers:

READ MEMORY 
 
Syntax 
 m<addr>,<len> 
 Read len bytes starting at memory address addr. 
 
Reply 
 hex-data 
 The values of the requested memory in target byte
order. May be shorter than requested, if some of the
memory could not be read. 
 
 
 E<n> 
 n == two-digit error code. 
 
 
  
 NOTE: partial success should be reported as an error.

 
There is a corresponding write but I am not aware of
anything that supports "flash" burning memory.  Is
anyone else aware of anything?
