 <p>In summary, when your program is ready to debug, you must follow these
 steps.
 </p>
 <ol>
 <li> Make sure you have defined the supporting low-level routines
 (see <a href="Bootstrapping.html#Bootstrapping">What You Must Do for the Stub</a>):
 <div class="display">
 <pre class="display"><code>getDebugChar</code>, <code>putDebugChar</code>,
 <code>flush_i_cache</code>, <code>memset</code>, <code>exceptionHandler</code>.
 </pre></div>

 </li><li> Insert these lines in your program&rsquo;s startup code, before the main
 procedure is called:

 <div class="smallexample">
 <pre class="smallexample">set_debug_traps();
 breakpoint();
 </pre></div>

 <p>On some machines, when a breakpoint trap is raised, the hardware
 automatically makes the PC point to the instruction after the
 breakpoint.  If your machine doesn&rsquo;t do that, you may need to adjust
 <code>handle_exception</code> to arrange for it to return to the instruction
 after the breakpoint on this first invocation, so that your program
 doesn&rsquo;t keep hitting the initial breakpoint instead of making
 progress.
 </p>
 </li><li> For the 680x0 stub only, you need to provide a variable called
 <code>exceptionHook</code>.  Normally you just use:

 <div class="smallexample">
 <pre class="smallexample">void (*exceptionHook)() = 0;
 </pre></div>

 <p>but if before calling <code>set_debug_traps</code>, you set it to point to a
 function in your program, that function is called when
 <code><small>GDB</small></code> continues after stopping on a trap (for example, bus
 error).  The function indicated by <code>exceptionHook</code> is called with
 one parameter: an <code>int</code> which is the exception number.
 </p>
 </li><li> Compile and link together: your program, the <small>GDB</small> debugging stub for
 your target architecture, and the supporting subroutines.

 </li><li> Make sure you have a serial connection between your target machine and
 the <small>GDB</small> host, and identify the serial port on the host.

 </li><li> Download your program to your target machine (or get it there by
 whatever means the manufacturer provides), and start it.

 </li><li> Start <small>GDB</small> on the host, and connect to the target
 (see <a href="Connecting.html#Connecting">Connecting to a Remote Target</a>).

 </li></ol>
