That's right. The /dev/lpt0 just gets passed to the DLL, GDB doesn't use it directly. > I tried connecting to my parallel device with the line > > target ocd /dev/lp0 > > Trying to talk to lp0 (1st printer port) gets stuck on the write > (system call) to the port. This isn't going to work; GDB doesn't have a "serial" interface to the parallel port. > All of the code for this second target seems to be > talking to a serial device.

GDB supports both the "wiggler", which is the basically-passive-parts gizmo that needs the DLL to do all the thinking, and the "box", which effectively puts the DLL in ROM, and GDB sends commands. The box I have has both a serial and a parallel port, but GDB can only use the serial port on it. I'd be willing to add parallel-port-to-box code (for either Windows or Linux), if someone contributes it. However, the wiggler relies completely on Craig's DLL, so you can't use it on Linux without porting or reverse-engineering the DLL.
