GDB support for ARM

Hello,

using U-Boot at an ARM9 board, at the moment I download a image by tftp into board's SDRAM and then start the image by 'g 0x1000000' (0x10000000 is the SDRAM base address).

Now, I wonder if it is possible to start the image under control of gdb.
As I understand it, there can run a small 'gdb-stub' on the target
which talks by serial line or by ethernet with the gdb on the development host.

In common/kgdb.c there seems to be something like this small 'gdb-stub'? Does it work for ARM? How can it be used?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a FAQ.

Regards

Dirk

The code you are quoting suggests that it is for ppc. I personally would not wast the time to try to make the serial kgdb stuff working - the BDI2000 works fine with ARM9 cpus and you can use gdb with it as well.
