Why are you making all this trickery of setting and deleting breakpoints in GDB and directly in the BDI? This confuses me, and most probably it also confuses GDB, too.
(gdb) mon break soft (gdb) b flash_init Breakpoint 2 at 0x7fe1254: file flash.c, line 126.
Why don't you just set a single (hardware) breakpoint at this address, and then let the system boot without any additional messing with the debug state?
