[Qemu-devel] [Bug 556560] Re: -S doesn't freeze CPU as expected

[Matthew Davey]

Actually you have read that incorrectly, the "-boot" was part of the
argument to the "-kernel". Their command line states
"~/Embedded/working/versatilepb/u-boot" which was broken over the end of
line:

qemu-system-arm -nographic -m 256 -M versatileab -kernel
~/Embedded/working/versatilepb/u-boot -s -S

-S doesn't freeze CPU as expected

Problem description; the version I previously used (0.11.0-rc2) used to freeze 
the CPU upon startup, allowing me to connect with GDB and start debugging and 
loading different images....
Here is just starts execution as soon as I hit enter like so...
