> the "disassemble" command not being able to do what it says and instead complaining about a lack of functions, etc. For reference (for other readers), while I totally agree with you, disassembling at a particular address can be done via something like "x/20i $pc" ("display 20 instructions starting from content at $pc"). Something quite annoying as well is that you have to patch GDB in order to be able to use software single-step on custom OS/baremetal targets (IDA has no such issue, it is an option in their UI). GDB doesn't even honor their own remote stub protocol.
