>Description:
I cannot establish connection to the target. I have two serial ports. I use com1 for the monitor (mtty) and com3 (don't have com2 abailable) for debugging. When triying to connect to com3 (with "target remote /dev/com3") I get the following message:
"Ignoring packet error, continuing..."
"Couldn't establish connection to remote target. 
Malformed response to offset query, timeout"

    This sounds like a gdb "problem". Your best bet is to communicate with the gdb folks, since they outnumber me by about 50. You'll get your problem resolved a whole lot faster.
    
    Anyway, your problem seems to indicate that you are using the wrong com port configuration in Insight/gdb. Make sure that the baud rate is appropriate set and that the target is responding.
    
    The best way to troubleshoot problems like this is to run command-line gdb and use "set debug remote 1", taking the results to the gdb list.
