I use Eclipse and Code Composer Studio all the time and they work just fine. I haven¹t used GDBServer for a long time so it is difficult to advise you how to get this working. Currently I use Lauterbach JTAG tools for kernel code debugging and these tools are amazing because of their Linux Kernel Awareness. However, previously I used Ronetix PEEDI JTAG tools which make JTAG look like GDBServer. So my suggestion is to look at the support docs on the Ronetix website as they explain how to setup Eclipse to work with GDBServer. If this doesn¹t work, then there is possibly some incompatibility between the version of Eclipse and GDBServer.
