@chapter Conclusion

In this document we have presented how we envisage to add remote debugging facilities

to RTEMS by implementing a remote debugger daemon for GDB. As any debug implemented

in software, it will have limitation but we are confident that most of them

can be removed by adding separate software components dedicated to debug activity.

We must keep in mind that even with this approach, no software will enable the

debug of code with interrupt entirely masked at processor level and that In

Circuit Emulator (ICE) or use of BDM extension on the target board are the ultimate

way to really debug any portion of an RTOS. BDM support in GDB is still weak

but people are working on it and we may get something better in a near future.
