+How to build and install the GDB module on the MBX board
+
+Make GDB module
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Configure and build using the 'stubs_old_scheme' template for the MBX
+target. These are the necessary CLI instructions. It can also be done
+from the Configtool by selecting the appropriate templates.
+
+ % cd /tmp
+ % mkdir stubs
+ % cd stubs
+ % ecosconfig new mbx stubs_old_scheme
+ % ecosconfig tree
+ % make
+
+This will install some files in ./install/bin:
+
+ cygmon.img:   The built stubs image
+ cygmon.bin:   The image converted to binary (suitable for burning to ROM)
+ cygmon.srec:  The S-Record image (suitable for flash programming, see below)
+
+
+Prepare board for flash programming
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This assumes you have EPPC-Bug in the on-board flash. This can be determined
+by setting up the board according to the below instructions and powering
+up the board. The EPPC-Bug prompt should appear on the SMC1 connector at
+9600 baud, 8N1.
+
+ 1. Set jumper 3 to 2-3     [allow XU2 flash to be programmed]
+ 2. Set jumper 4 to 2-3     [boot EPPC-Bug]
+
+
+Program FLASH
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ 1. Prepare EPPC-Bug for download:
+
+       EPPC-Bug>lo 0
+
+    At this point the monitor is ready for input. It will not return the
+    prompt until the file has been downloaded.
+
+ 2. Use the terminal emulator's ASCII download feature (or a simple clipboard
+    copy/paste operation) to download the gdb_module.srec data.
+
+     Note: On Linux, Minicom's ASCII download feature seems to be broken.
+           A workaround is to load the file into emacs (or another editor)
+           and copy the full contents to the clipboard. Then press the
+           mouse paste-button (usually middle) over the Minicom window.
+
+ 3. Program the flash with the downloaded data:
+
+       EPPC-Bug>pflash 40000 60000 fc000000
+
+ 4. Switch off the power, and change jumper 4 to 1-2. Turn on the power
+    again. The board should now boot using the newly programmed stubs.
