At least the last time I looked at H-JTAG the only debugger-"API" was a
RDI-interface provided by a DLL. I'm not sure if the gdb included in the
WinARM packages can talk to a "RDI-dll" as in H-JTAG, but I don't think
so. You may try the Codesourcery G++ lite package. There is a binary
included in this package, I do not recall the exact filename but it
should be something like *-sprite.exe. IRC this can be configured to use
a RDI-dll and should provide a gdb-server. Sorry, not "cookbokish" but
hopefully a hint in the right direction - I have not tested this myself.
There is some documentation in the Codesourcery package.

As an alternative take a look at OpenOCD, it offers a gdb-server and can
"talk" to Wiggler-type JTAG-interfaces.

Hi Martin,

I assumed that since H-JTAG was bundled in utils , someone had done the
needful.
I anyway downloaded it from twentyone's blog.
Thanks for responding.

Regards
Thomas

Well, just because a tool is included in the WinARM package it does not
mean that it is "fully integrated". The tools just reflect my personal
taste and I have included H-JTAG because of the flash-programming
support for a lot of targets.
