I'm trying to do mostly the same, but I just use "import other project", 
which has its own Makefile etc. Will that work with bare metal plugin?

Actually that is the same part that gives me trouble... I really don't get 
the last step that should be made... I have the kit and bare metal device, 
but how do I actually start the debug session? If I do "connect to remote 
server" I have to enter the settings all over again (port, address, 
executable, ...), and the GDB commands configured in bare metal device 
("reset halt" and so on) are not sent to OpenOCD. If I start debugging with 
F5 it obviously does not work (I just enter the path to .elf file)... So 
what exactly do you mean by "run settings", where should you enter them and 
how to properly start the debugging?

As a side note - I know it can work, because if I manually do "reset halt", 
flash the code and then start debugging on remote gdbserver it mostly 
works...

Thx in advance!
