[cdt-debug-dev] JTAG (was: The fate of the current GDB support in CDT)

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm still pretty early in this. I've just started learning all the
things you can do with JTAG (I've been away too long from embedded
development, these things are wicked cool!).

My first thoughts is that you generally need to send down device and
platform specific 'monitor' commands to set up the remote target for debug.
My first thoughts is to do something similar to Oyvind's work where the user
can specify a list of gdb commands that are run after hooking up to the
'target remote' and before setting breakpoints and continuing. The CDT
currently has gdbserver support hidden which I'd like to expose at a higher
level and add this extra command support to that facility.

That's my early thinking. I'd be interested in hearing how others hook up
JTAG devices to the CDT.

Since (on the GDB side of the fence) I've been working along these
lines for months, this caught my interest.  Got a pointer to more
details?
