Hi BIn,Alistair,
I was passing the hss.elf file and it was strange that gdb after connecting was not letting the target to continue from gdb.
what worked was to not pass anything and then connect the to target then load the symbol file as hss.elf.
I followed the steps from the "Attaching the GDB" doc and was able to debug.
For the qemu command line from the doc, I made the "wait=off" then qemu was not waiting for another serial connection
and launched the hss.
The problem remains is that I still do not have the u-boot and linux booting. The unix\#serial1.sock remains offline always.

One thing I overlooked in the document is that we are preparing the *.wic file after downloading
but passing the *.img in the qemu command. How to convert the wic to img. I couldn't see much about
this on the internet ?
Since U-boot currently does not boot, it seems passing the wic file directly is not right. Now sure here.
qemu-system-riscv64 -M microchip-icicle-kit -smp 5 \
-bios path/to/hss.bin -sd path/to/sdcard.img \
-nic user,model=cadence_gem \
-nic tap,ifname=tap,model=cadence_gem,script=no \
-display none -serial stdio \
-chardev socket,id=serial1,path=serial1.sock,server=on,wait=on \
-serial chardev:serial1
Are there other ways in qemu icicle machine supported now to pass the u-boot and kernel?
Thanks
Rahul
