rproxy - being maintained?

rproxy - being maintained?

[Robin Getz]

I was looking at http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/links/

and at the bottom of the page, it has a link for rproxy (proxy for the GDB 
remote protocol), which points to 
http://world.std.com/~qqi/labslave/rproxy.html but the only place I can 
find this is in google's cache.

Is rproxy an actively maintained project?

I noticed that Chris Liechti and Dmitry Diky did a fork, and are now 
calling it gdbproxy - but this looked like it was only for the MSP-430 
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/tools.html

Thanks in advance.

Not as far as I know.

Depending on exactly what you need, there may be other more recent
projects which can help.

Actually I was the one who implemented gdbproxy. We needed something for 
MSP430 support that would allow us to embed a proprietary library from 
TI, and not break licencing rules. I picked up rproxy. I contact its 
developer. He has lost interest in the code, so I took it up. I forget 
the reason for giving it a new name, but it made sense that the time. :-)

There is nothing MSP430 specific in the code in CVS at 
mspgcc.sourceforge.net. What is in there is the generic code, with a 
skeleton for a target specific module. The target specific module for 
the MSP430 is here with me, and not in CVS. I would welcome anyone using 
this code. Its why I put everything I was allowed to in a public CVS 
respository.

Regards,
Steve

What I am looking for was something that could listen on a host (the same 
host that gdb runs on), and translate gdb remote protocol to JTAG, for some 
sort of JTAG hardware (either USB, or Parallel Port).
