[avr-gcc-list] gdb problem writing {char}

[Brian Cuthie]

I hope this is just me being stupid...

I'm having trouble getting avr-gdb (connected through avarice to an
ATmega16 target) to write data one byte at a time. Specifically, the
following gdb command does not appear to write anything:

(gdb) set {char}0x800060 = 0x20

Where

(gdb) set {short}0x800060 = 0x20

does write two bytes into internal RAM.

Any ideas?
