You need some kind of debugging monitor on your target system - which as you rightly guessed is gdbserver. Once you have this built, you have to launch gdbserver on the target giving the program for it to run, and a port to open (you also have to have an ethernet connection on the board, by the way). Then on the host gdb, you use "target remote" to the embedded Linux box, using the port that you told gdbserver to open. Gdbserver is part of the standard gdb distribution in gdb/gdbserver; you just need to build it for your target machine. If you can build on your target system, this is probably not too hard. If you want to build it on your development machine, that is a little harder, since host cross host builds are not really supported with the Gnu tools right now. There was a product from Red Hat (it's internal name was EL/IX but I don't remember what the final product ended up being called) that does just what you want, though not on the version of the target you are using. It may contain enough stuff to get you going, I don't know... Anyway, it is going in the same direction. Hope this helps. Jim > Hey All, > I'm new to Insight and even fairly new to GDB.
