Hi, I am trying to debug u-boot using arm-elf-gdb on the PDK board. I have been succesfully using this gdb to a great extent. However, when i try my vanilla u-boot image with debug, i get a "segfault".

AT this point, even the running u-boot on the console hangs/crashes.
Could it be something wrong with the uboot binary itslef. If so, any hints as to what could be wrong? I have been using theis arm-elf-gdb sucessfully with Redboot in the past.
Thanks, Alfred.
