| <h2 class="chapter">20 Debugging Remote Programs</h2> |
| <a name="index-remote-debugging"></a> |
| |
| <p>If you are trying to debug a program running on a machine that cannot run |
| <small>GDB</small> in the usual way, it is often useful to use remote debugging. |
| For example, you might use remote debugging on an operating system kernel, |
| or on a small system which does not have a general purpose operating system |
| powerful enough to run a full-featured debugger. |
| </p> |
| <p>Some configurations of <small>GDB</small> have special serial or TCP/IP interfaces |
| to make this work with particular debugging targets. In addition, |
| <small>GDB</small> comes with a generic serial protocol (specific to <small>GDB</small>, |
| but not specific to any particular target system) which you can use if you |
| write the remote stubs—the code that runs on the remote system to |
| communicate with <small>GDB</small>. |
| </p> |
| <p>Other remote targets may be available in your |
| configuration of <small>GDB</small>; use <code>help target</code> to list them. |
