Maybe I've posed the wrong question.
I'm now running sparc-elf-gdb connected via the extended-remote protocol to
my
personal debug-server (located on the same host machine). The debug server is
connected via a serial cable to a hardware debug unit that I've on a remote
sparc processor. On top of that I usually I run ddd.

My question is : can Eclipse take the control over gdb like ddd does?

PS:
    in the DebuggerTab I've only GDB as option.

Sorry for the stupid questions but I'm new on Eclipse and GSB interfaces.

Best regards joel
