GDB and ARM Multi-Ice JTAG emulator

[cyril dot germond at philips dot com]

Hello,

I am (and as far as I know, there are quite a few other guys in the same area) working on a Linux port on ARM-based platform.
All this stuff implies a lot of free software: Linux kernel, GNU toolchain...
But also some hardware kind of material to access the target.
We use a JTAG device emulator from ARM-Ltd, called Multi-Ice for debug and various purposes ETM, etc...).

Apparently - and this is very disapointing - it is not possible (for the moment) to use gdb with Multi-Ice.

A few weeks ago, I got a message from KeithS (Redhat)
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/insight/2001-q1/msg00166.html

People from ARM told me that the work for using Multi-ICE with GDB had basically been done.
ARM has the RDI header files that are necessary  (available through the ARM Developer Zone - www.armdevzone.com).

I have heard that people from Cygnus/Redhat  had worked on the topic...

Does anyone knows if there is there anything on the roadmap, either within the gdb group, Redhat or anyone else?

Thanks and regards,
Cyril Germond
