Insight and com port problem

[Marcel Wust]

Hi,
I recently built Insight from the the snapshot (I 
am not sure if it's a release) insight-1999122.tar.bz2 for the ARM processor on 
a WIndows NT platform.
So far so good, the simulators works fine. I 
encounter problems while connecting Insight serially to the ARM Evaluation Board 
(Target ARM Angel). Sometimes a connection is made and a few single steps can be 
executed. It seems the com port hangs after receiving the copyright message from 
the AEB. Actually the program Insight sends a response packet but the 
transmission stops somewhere in the middle of the packet.
Obviously the AEB awaits the reception of the 
complete packet and will therefore wait forever.
 
I have checked some mail from the archive and read 
that some people where lucky by replacing cygwin1.dll by the latest version 
cygwin1-20.1.dll.  I am afraid luck is not on my side this time 
because it is still not working with this update. Has anyone 
experience and give me some hints / clues ?
 
Thanks,
Marcel 
Wust.
