Wolfgang, I just checked again, and I know what happened: this chapter

http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/DebuggingUBoot#Section_10.1.2.

never mentions tricks listed in this chapter:

http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/GDBScripts,

and I did not look any further than section 10.1.2 when I read the
manual first time. I think it would benefit section 10.1.2 if it
mentioned that more stuff is available further down the manual.

Sorry for missing it first time around,
cheers,
