Heretical Question

[Steven Blakeslee]

ddd will let you specify a gdb debugger to use. You have to add -g -ggdb to
the CFLAGS and compile the kernel.  Then give the command

ddd --debugger ppc_8xx-gdb vmlinux

Replace ppc_8xx-gdb with your debugger of choice, gdb is the default if you
do not specify.

Subject: Heretical Question



I know it is wrong for me to ask, but is there (possibly already
lurking in my Red Hat box?) a graphical front end to GDB that will
work with embedded programming?  Emacs already lets me debug with
source code pretty well (not assembly, however), and that is nice, but
what I really miss is a way to browse through data structures.  Kdbg
looks good, but it seems to be for native debugging only (though I
might hack at it a little to issue the elusive "target remote ...").
It is possible ddd would do, but it also seems to be for native
debugging only too.

Suggestions?


Thanks,
