Stan, We need this board file to ensure gdb testsuite works properly in 'remote=20 host'. Existing test cases have some flaws on 'remote host', and it is als= o=20 useful to verify new test case works well in 'remote host'. We have a line of explanation in the comment, is it clear enough? # This file is a dejagnu "board file" and is used to run the testsuite # against local host, in remote host mode. --=20 Yao (=E9=BD=90=E5=B0=A7)
