Hi Ed, Key resources for developers that should help you are - the GDB Internals document (gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo in the distribution, or online at sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdbint_toc.html - the GDB IRC channel #gdb on irc.freenode.net, port 6667 (lots of helpful developers to answer your questions live) - the GDB Wiki at sourceware.org/gdb/wiki I wrote an application note on porting GDB, which you may find useful for an overview of the internals at www.embecosm.com/download/ean3.html (also on the GDB Wiki).
