AW: [cdt-debug-dev] JTAG (was: The fate of the current GDB support inCDT

["Ploett, Norbert" <norbert.ploett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

we tried an Abatron BDI 2000 for our ARM boards. The BDI gets it's
configuration files via TFTP, so the board is all ready and configured
by the time eclipse makes the gdb connect to the BDI's built-in gdb
stub.

So we needed to give just a few embedded-specific commands to load the
executable on to the board before starting the debug session and
therefore the Zylin approach of entering those few lines into a text
window worked quite well for us. 

For a general solution I think that there should be a combination of
specifying startup script files and the flexibility of just hacking a
few lines into a text box.

Greetings to all remote/embedded debuggers ...
