Re: Developer Guide to GDB

[Ramana Radhakrishnan <ramana dot radhakrishnan at codito dot com>]

Hi, 


The way to play around would be to look at another port and look at
gdbint. You are obviously using a very old version of GDB and a lot of
things have changed. 

Which ARC are you working with / do you want a debugger for ? Is it the
A4 ?  I have earlier worked on a gdb port for later versions of the ARC
which is available from my employers site http://www.codito.com ,
notably the tangent A5 and the ARC700 . We are still to integrate this
with the FSF tree. 

cheers
Ramana
