<p><small>GDB</small> enables developers to debug tasks running on
Sparclet targets from a Unix host.
<small>GDB</small> uses code that runs on
both the Unix host and on the Sparclet target. The program
<code>gdb</code> is installed and executed on the Unix host.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>remotetimeout <var>args</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-remotetimeout"></a>
<p><small>GDB</small> supports the option <code>remotetimeout</code>.
This option is set by the user, and <var>args</var> represents the number of
seconds <small>GDB</small> waits for responses.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<a name="index-compiling_002c-on-Sparclet"></a>
<p>When compiling for debugging, include the options &lsquo;<samp>-g</samp>&rsquo; to get debug
information and &lsquo;<samp>-Ttext</samp>&rsquo; to relocate the program to where you wish to
load it on the target. You may also want to add the options &lsquo;<samp>-n</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>-N</samp>&rsquo; in order to reduce the size of the sections. Example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">sparclet-aout-gcc prog.c -Ttext 0x12010000 -g -o prog -N
</pre></div>
<p>You can use <code>objdump</code> to verify that the addresses are what you intended:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">sparclet-aout-objdump --headers --syms prog
</pre></div>
<a name="index-running_002c-on-Sparclet"></a>
<p>Once you have set
your Unix execution search path to find <small>GDB</small>, you are ready to
run <small>GDB</small>. From your Unix host, run <code>gdb</code>
(or <code>sparclet-aout-gdb</code>, depending on your installation).
</p>
<p><small>GDB</small> comes up showing the prompt:
