The timeout used while waiting for a packet is controlled by the

while waiting for an acknowledgement of a packet is controlled by the

You can control the timeout used while waiting for a packet, in the MIPS
remote protocol, with the @code{set timeout @var{seconds}} command. The
default is 5 seconds. Similarly, you can control the timeout used while
waiting for an acknowledgement of a packet with the @code{set
retransmit-timeout @var{seconds}} command. The default is 3 seconds.
You can inspect both values with @code{show timeout} and @code{show
retransmit-timeout}. (These commands are @emph{only} available when
@value{GDBN} is configured for @samp{--target=mips-idt-ecoff}.)

If your target board does not support the MIPS floating point
coprocessor, you should use the command @samp{set mipsfpu off} (you may
wish to put this in your @value{GDBINIT} file). This will tell
@value{GDBN} how to find the return value of functions which return
floating point values, and tell it to call functions on the board
without saving the floating point registers.
