Maybe the information at http://wiki.eclipse.org/DSDP/DD/GDB provides a 
starting point. It describes the steps for self-hosted development and 
debugging a local sample application, but this might be useful as well.

Anyway, the basic steps are:
1. Create a C/C++ project with sources and binaries.
2. Create a launch configuration (under Run > Debug Configurations...) 
of the right type, e.g. for remote debugging select "C/C++ Remote 
Application  (Experimental - DSF)" and enter the required information.
3. Click "Debug" to start the debugger
