I'm stumped trying to get things working on a Olimex AT91SAM7-P256 
evaluation board.

Here's the setup:
* Olimex SAM7-Pxxx evaluation board
* ARM-USB-TINY JTAG
* Using OpenOCD 0.3.1 2009-11-13
* Running YAGARTO 
(yagarto-bu-2.20_gcc-4.4.2-c-c++_nl-1.18.0_gdb-7.0.1_20091223.exe)

I'm trying to get the example blinker program from Peter Lynch's 
tutorial running (that tutorial is quite old).  It looks like OpenOCD 
has been extensively modified.

I'm able to compile and link the example.

I'm able to run OpenOCD.

I'm able to run GDB and load the file and run to a break point placed at 
the start of main().

However, when I get there, the program doesn't seem to really modify any 
of the memory.  For example, there is a variable that is in memory 
location 0xfe20.  I try to set that variable to some value and it always 
ends up reading back -1.

Here is the script that I'm using for gdb:

#copy this to the init command box in Eclipse Gdb settings

target remote localhost:3333
monitor reset
monitor sleep 500
monitor poll
monitor soft_reset_halt
#monitor arm7_9 sw_bkpts enable
monitor gdb_breakpoint_override hard

# select the core state
monitor armv4_5 core_state arm

# WDT_MR, disable watchdog
monitor mww 0xFFFFFD44 0xa0008000

# RSTC_MR, enable user reset
monitor mww 0xfffffd08 0xa5000401

# CKGR_MOR
monitor mww 0xFFFFFC20 0x00000601
monitor sleep 100

# CKGR_PLLR
monitor mww 0xFFFFFC2C 0x00480a0e
monitor sleep 200

# PMC_MCKR
monitor mww 0xFFFFFC30 0x00000007
monitor sleep 100

# PMC_IER, set flash wait state (AT91C_MC_FMR)
monitor mww 0xffffff60 0x00320100
monitor sleep 100

#Go ahead
load
break main
continue
