Re: GDB - Remote Serial Protocol

Hi GDB Team,
       Is there any documentation in the web on the remote serial protocol.  I have found some  documentation on what kind of messages the gdb sends to the stub but what I need is what does the gdb expect in return for the commands that it sends. i.e.
the format of the message that need to be sent from the stub back to the gdb.  Please indicate where I can find this info. I am trying to write a gdbstub in 'C'.

Thanks & Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,

If you have the GDB sources, you will find the manual "Debugging with
GDB" in the gdb/doc subdirectory.  It can be generated in a variety of
formats (look in the Makefile.in of that subdirectory).

If your system is a Unix system, the "info" version of the manual should
have been installed when gdb was installed.  Use the "info" command to
browse it.

Regards,
Fernando

The gdb manual is on the web.  The section you want starts here:
  http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb_15.html#SEC129

Also, you might benefit from looking at the code (gdb/remote.c), and
from looking at an example 'stub' such as gdb/gdbserver or any of:
  gdb/*stub.c

Good luck,
Michael
