Not knowing a whole lot about what the Eclipse plugin gdb does, it is hard to know if this was an eclipse timeout or not. If you add the following to your .gdbinit it will at least tell you what happened at the end. set remotelogfile /tmp/gdb_serial_log.txt It would be good to know if eclipse timed out and it just detached from the target, or if some command crashed gdb. It is purely a guess, but it is probably eclipse requesting lots of information and simply timing out. > and then launched eclipse debugger.

You can see this in the video. I edited the video, in between to trim off the long wait, with the characters scrolling in the terminal session, to the point where it crashes. > > I would not expect the terminal session to crash. If an oops is printed, it means there is an internal kgdb problem.
