This environment must be as close as possible to the Chorus one -(gnu compiler, gnu linker, gnu debugger, ...), because it is currently the OS -which is the most used at CRF and we want to simplify the migration path from -the ChorusOs environment to the RTEMS environment. One important item of this -development environment is the remote debugger which allows the developer to -debug his software on a target machine from a host machine via a communication -link (Ethernet, serial link, ...). - - -The choice of GDB as debugger has been made with because in CRF, every -developer, which uses the ChorusOs development environment, debugs his software -using the remote debugging functionality of GDB. Providing a remote GDB debug -server running on RTEMS, will enable the developers to use transparently the -same debugger for a different RTOS. Another reason for the choice of GDB is -its constant evolution, and that it can be interfaced with graphic user interfaces -like DDD providing a very powerfull debugging environment. - - -The subject of this document is to explain how GDB works and the way -to implement a daemon on RTEMS that will be used as a debugger server for a -GDB client. We will call this daemon Rtems GDB Debug Server Daemon (RGDBSD). -We aim to provide this debugger running at least on 2 host systems : Linux 2.x -and Solaris 2.5.1 as they are the two platforms used for developing Chorus applications -today. - - |
