[lldb-dev] Launching the program through 'gdb-remote' process plugin

[Greg Clayton]

The "process launch" command should send the 'A' packet, and it is waiting for a stop reply response from the 'A' packet. Try enabling the packet logging in LLDB:

(lldb) log enable gdb-remote packets
(lldb) process connect ...
(lldb) run

My guess is that the 'A' packet isn't responding with a stop reply packet.
