This is what I have:
A gnu development that debugs an architecture. That is , gnu that communicates
with a physical external board with a hyperstone E1 chip , via serial link.
I have too a simulator that acts exactly as this board. It reads/writes its
input/output in a simulated UART. I can chage this to reading/writing
elsewhere, but, i don't know exactly how to connect this with the gdb serial
protocol. Should I modify gdb code, or should I use a specific command. I
thought I could use the target child command to tell the gnu to communicate
not to the board but to the board simulator process. But maybe I din't
understand that properly as English is not my languange.
I think , there are two functions called send_pkt and read_pakt (or similar)
that I could modify too to force gnu to read/write in a virtual UART.
But if it's possible I would like to use an option from this target command to
communicate my simulator program with the gdb.
Sorry for my english , I'll hope you could understand all. Thank you very much
for your answer!!!
Best regards! miguel
