Greetings.
Can I write memory locations with GDB? I have been looking through
Debugging With GDB and a few tutorials but can't find anything - only
how to read memory and write to variables. I am using GDB 5.1.1 for TI
MSP430 in text mode but I expect the commands would be the same as for
native debugging.
Help appreciated.
Joseph Casey.
