GDB with USB support

GDB with USB support

[Kevin McGrath]

Hi All,

please take the time read this!

In relation to writing USB support for GDB, the problem is where do I start. 
I've purchased the development board from cypress & read about the remote 
serial protocol, however where do I start writing the USB code within GDB as 
I should keep the RS232 & ETHERNET support as it is. Is there some sort of 
switch statement within GDB where it decides or does it go through some sort 
of initialisation process first to decide, in any case where is this code 
located, what steps in relation to USB should I take. Also, if you've any 
useful information on this topic, I would appreciate it.

Kind Regards
Kevin

Your best bet is to ask the gdb folks this question. There are many more
gdb developers than there are here. People there are typically quite
friendly and helpful. ;-)
