Did XMD produce any output that indicates a problem? Please make sure 
XMD has not crashed. I have seen it crash in the past, however that was 
a while ago on an old SDK.

Maybe set a few other breakpoints. I would set breakpoints on bootcard 
and Init.

If you have debugging info you should see the assembler source code for 
start.S and so you should be able to step it. If you see the source code 
try 's' or 'si'.

I assume there is no watchdog hardware running?

I have never used XMD but I know users have. I have been using OpenOCD.
