Unpredictable loading on slow simulators (progbuf)

[RaamyPi]

We are working with a relatively slower simulator and loading binaries from gdb (with progbuf ) is very inconsistent. After the load goes through, compare-sections would almost always fail and it takes a couple of tries to get it to pass - sometimes it would even take 10s/100s of tries.

Upon inspecting openocd's logs, it was clear that the actual data did not get written properly (and this is random, it's not like it will always be the Xth byte that will be clobbered). The issue generally gets worse with bigger files. Sometimes increasing the delay here helps but it still does not fix the problem at hand.

Is there anything else that could be done?

Might help to attach some illustrative OpenOCD and maybe also GDB remote serial protocol logs?
