.SH DESCRIPTION
20
GDBSERVER is a program that allows you to run GDB on a different machine
21
than the one which is running the program being debugged.
22
 
23
Usage (server (target) side):
24
 
25
First, you need to have a copy of the program you want to debug put onto
26
the target system.  The program can be stripped to save space if needed, as
27
GDBserver doesn't care about symbols.  All symbol handling is taken care of by
28
the GDB running on the host system.
29
 
30
To use the server, you log on to the target system, and run the `gdbserver'
31
program.  You must tell it (a) how to communicate with GDB, (b) the name of
32
your program, and (c) its arguments.  The general syntax is:
33
 
34
        target> gdbserver COMM PROGRAM [ARGS ...]
35
 
36
For example, using a serial port, you might say:
37
 
38
        target> gdbserver /dev/com1 emacs foo.txt
39
 
40
This tells gdbserver to debug emacs with an argument of foo.txt, and to
41
communicate with GDB via /dev/com1.  Gdbserver now waits patiently for the
42
host GDB to communicate with it.
43
 
44
To use a TCP connection, you could say:
45
 
46
        target> gdbserver host:2345 emacs foo.txt
47
 
48
This says pretty much the same thing as the last example, except that we are
49
going to communicate with the host GDB via TCP.  The `host:2345' argument means
50
that we are expecting to see a TCP connection from `host' to local TCP port
51
2345.  (Currently, the `host' part is ignored.)  You can choose any number you
52
want for the port number as long as it does not conflict with any existing TCP
53
ports on the target system.  This same port number must be used in the host
54
GDBs `target remote' command, which will be described shortly.  Note that if
55
you chose a port number that conflicts with another service, gdbserver will
56
print an error message and exit.
57
 
58
On some targets, gdbserver can also attach to running programs.
59
This is accomplished via the --attach argument.  The syntax is:
60
 
61
        target> gdbserver COMM --attach PID
62
 
63
PID is the process ID of a currently running process.  It isn't
64
necessary to point gdbserver at a binary for the running process.
65
 
66
Usage (host side):
67
 
68
You need an unstripped copy of the target program on your host system, since
69
GDB needs to examine it's symbol tables and such.  Start up GDB as you normally
70
would, with the target program as the first argument.  (You may need to use the
71
--baud option if the serial line is running at anything except 9600 baud.)
72
Ie: `gdb TARGET-PROG', or `gdb --baud BAUD TARGET-PROG'.  After that, the only
73
new command you need to know about is `target remote'.  It's argument is either
74
a device name (usually a serial device, like `/dev/ttyb'), or a HOST:PORT
75
descriptor.  For example:
76
 
77
        (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyb
78
 
79
communicates with the server via serial line /dev/ttyb, and:
80
 
81
        (gdb) target remote the-target:2345
82
 
83
communicates via a TCP connection to port 2345 on host `the-target', where
84
you previously started up gdbserver with the same port number.  Note that for
85
TCP connections, you must start up gdbserver prior to using the `target remote'
86
command, otherwise you may get an error that looks something like
87
`Connection refused'.
88
.SH OPTIONS
89
You have to supply the name of the program to debug
90
and the tty to communicate on; the remote GDB will do everything else.
91
Any remaining arguments will be passed to the program verbatim.
