It depends on the size of the applications you need to download. For an
application of about 2Mb, I prefer to load it via Ethernet rather than
serial. You can configure your application to include the GDB stubs and make it
call the breakpoint() function where appropriate (such as at the beginning or
from the assert macro). You load it from RedBoot via Ethernet, start it and then
connect to the GDB stub via serial to debug it.
