Here you should hit 'c' instead of 'r'

Every time when you load program to EVB you should use the following
sequence:

(gdb) file o-optimize/whatever.exe
(gdb) target remote <your serial port here>
(gdb) load
(gdb) b Init //for example - not necessary
(gdb) continue

That should work.

What monitor do you use?
