Problem debugging with J-Link ARM / GDB Server [message #874978]

Toolchain: Windows 7. Indigo SR1. Segger J-Link GDB Server V4.46f. Atmel SAM-ICE. Atmel AT91SAM7SE512.

From Eclipse I can:
- Build my project (using make / GCC)
- Start the GDB server, which successfully connects.

But when I try and run the debugger it seems to get to get to the main and then come up with the following message:
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".

However, if I launch J-Link ARM V4.46f (JLink.exe) from the command line I can perform basic 'go, halt, TestHaltGo' type commands successfully from there.

So I must have something setup incorrectly in my debug configuration?

Attached: GDB Console and GDB Server log.

Thanks.

Update: I've now got the debugger working with a hello world app - yay! In the end I removed my whole toolchain and started again from scratch, and followed the yagarto.de installation to the letter.

I had previously followed the yargato guide only loosley, as I already had some of the tools already in place. The only significance thing I could spot that was using the gdb command 'arm-none-eabi-gdb' as directed instead of 'arm-elf-gdb' as I had set originally, don't know if this would have caused the problem?

Next step is to bring my makefile/project in and get that running.
