Re: GDB for host development platform

John,
Why not take a look at the Cross Development Kit from
MontaVista Software? If you go to their web site you
can download it for free. It comes with GDB and
GDB server which uses the ethernet to debug.

I have now successfully build GDB-4.18 for linux/ppc.
Both target and host are powerpc-linux.
When I was trying to run a executable in my target
hardware(8xx) with gdb(target for exec),
 e.g. hello,
GDB said
"
Starting program: ./hello
Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".
"
Questions:
    1. what's going on it?
    2. Does(Did) anyone do the same thing?
    3.The cross-debugger + target gdb server with a serial connection
         is the unique choices?
    4. I wonder which is the best way to debug a linux/ppc application
        on the embedded platform.
    5. What do you think a full host development environment
        (including native comilper,debugger etc) in the embedded
        system.

thank for any response.

regards.
john zhan.
