@chapter Getting Started
This section describes the steps which are necessary to set up a
debugging session with RTEMS/GDB.
@section Compiling The System Components
The components that need to be debugged have to be compiled with the -g option
in order the generated file to contain the required information for the debug
session.
@section Starting a debugging session
After having launched GDB, the user must connect to the RTEMS target with the
following commands:
@example
(gdb) setrpcmode sun
(gdb) setdaemontype rdbg
(gdb) target rtems target-name
@end example
Then he can use the file GDB command to specify the binary to be debugged.
This initialization phase can be written in a @code{``.gdbinit''}
file. Each time, the user will launch GDB, it will execute this initialization
sequence.
@section Attaching To The System
The entire target system is viewed as a single multi-threaded process,
the identifier of which is 1. To attach, use:
@example
(gdb) attach 1
@end example
When successfully attached, the user can control the execution of
the target system from the debugger.
