[lldb-dev] LLDB bare-metal and 'load' command

[Abid, Hafiz via lldb-dev]

Hi Ted,
I have a utility that communicate with the board (jtag over usb) and presents a gdb-server
interface. I could debug an application on the board using gdb. I was trying to do similar
thing with LLDB but could not figure how to do what 'load' command of gdb does.

Thanks,
Abid
