I'm not an expert in the questions you ask, especially since I have not
used an ARM but...

#1 (using the BDI to debug u-boot)
* See DULG FAQ section

<http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/WrongDebugSymbolsAfterRelocation
>

WRT #2 (using gdb and the BDI)
* Is your IP address for the BDI correct?  Can you ping it?  Can you
telnet to it?
* Do you have a DEBUGPORT defined in your BDI config file (that is where
port 2001 is defined)
