Hi Raj

Thank you for your reply - this seems to have resolved my issue.

Can you let me know if there is a correct way to build gdbserver into my 
target? I have tried a few things and none of them seem to work. THIS 
<http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#platdev-gdb-remotedebug-launch-gdbserver>page 
suggests that there should be a gdbserver package but it doesn seem to 
exist when I try to include it. Including 'gdb' on its own doesnt seem 
to put gdbserver on the target. Also - i have tried EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES 
= "tools-debug" in local.conf but that breaks everything as it depends 
on X11 which I am not using.

Regards,
John
