potential gdb/insight problem with settings hardware breakpoints


I am using arm-elf-gdb or arm-elf-insight together with OCDLibRemote is a
utility from
www.macraigor.comto debug ARM7 (Philips LPC2106).
I am having a problem setting hardware breakpoints. Following is the typical
session:

(gdb) target remote localhost:2000
Remote debugging using localhost:2000
_start () at ../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S:83
83              b ResetHandler

(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1   hw breakpoint  keep y   0x00000138
../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S:175

(gdb) delete
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y

(gdb) hbreak 175

Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0x138: file
../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S, line 175.

(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
2   hw breakpoint  keep y   0x00000138
../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S:175

(gdb) n
Warning:
Cannot insert hardware breakpoint 2.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.

(gdb) s
Can't set hardware breakpoint without the 'Z1' (hardware-breakpoint) packet

(gdb) n
Can't set hardware breakpoint without the 'Z1' (hardware-breakpoint) packet

(gdb) c
Continuing.
Can't set hardware breakpoint without the 'Z1' (hardware-breakpoint) packet

(gdb) set remote hardware-breakpoint-packet on
(gdb) hbreak 175
Note: breakpoint 2 also set at pc 0x138.
Hardware assisted breakpoint 3 at 0x138: file
../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S, line 175.
(gdb) info breakpoints

(gdb) delete

(gdb) info breakpoints
No breakpoints or watchpoints.
(gdb) hbreak 175
Hardware assisted breakpoint 4 at 0x138: file
../../../arm_ucos/lpc210x/src/gcc/init.S, line 175.
(gdb) s
Enabled packet Z1 (hardware-breakpoint) not recognized by stub
(gdb) s
Enabled packet Z1 (hardware-breakpoint) not recognized by stub
(gdb)


Am I missing something ?
Are hardware breakpoints supported ? If not, any plans ?

Thanks,

Nenad
