Re: proposed extension for jtag debugging
I'd very much like to hear about this as it sounds similar to what I
have done. I added a target to the "mips" code to directly control
a JTAG cable connected to a PC parallel port. It did not use
gdbserver. As an aside, I also use GDB to control a "C" based
emulator and a VHDL based simulator.
Since then, I have been looking into using gdbserver so I won't have
to apply patches to GDB... I'm also hoping that since gdbserver is
a separate process, some of the control issues that arise when trying
to control a separate VHDL simulator may be more easy handled...
Thanks,
Ed Hepler

It's sad that you need to use the target strata for this. Doing it
directly in the remote target would work for all of the above except
for "target bdm". But I suppose it's reasonable.
I would not worry about "target bdm". This project has moved away from a
patch for GDB adding the bdm target to a gdbserver and the remote protocol.
