Do you need a BOB for gp2x apps development? What is the recommended development setup and what are the requirements for getting usb networking running?

1. No. If you want printf output usb networking is enough.

2. A computer with a recent OS is enough XD

3. A usb cable (you might need another one because the ones shipped are usually faulty) and windows drivers if applicable.

I use USB networking and GDB. I configured Code::Blocks to compile directly onto the gp2x and testing is done with Putty.

Can you elaborate on how to use GDB with USB networking and which files to download please?

Yeah, i need this setup too.

I thought it was impossible without a serial cable.

I found GDB compiled for ARM somewhere (archives, I think). All I had to do was copy it to the SD, enable USB Networking and Telnet, then run GDB over Putty.

I'm new to Putty and all of those telnet things, but i believe this GDB build might be capable of connecting through USB directly.

Anyways, this is all too cool. I need to set this up sometime.
