The SIM's register number and map change dependant on the configuration. As a consequence GDB needs to exactly match its self with the simulator's internal register schema instead of a standard well-defined register map. I don't think this exactly lends its self to a maintainable situtation. Instead there should be a standard map (as with the d10v) and both sides use that. Andrew
