Hello,

I am trying to use GDB to disassemble a binary file. I have no problems
when gdb connects to a target board (running a PC440) and viewing the
disassembly via the display command, (gdb)x /10i$0xfffff000. But GDB
does will not recognize or open a binary file format. It might not be
the right tool to use, I really just want to open a binary file in gdb
and view the disassembly. Is that possible?

Fahd
