I've looked in the mailing list archives, and only found mention of using a Windoze host with a Wiggler. I'm not keen on switching to Windoze, and would like to take advantage of the Raven's extra speed if possible. Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Macraigor will not release the specification to enable GDB to interface directly to their OCD Debuggers. The only support is through the Macraigor supplied DLL, and that only runs under windows. If you can get the specs for their devices then you can always write the interface from linux :). Im building my own interface, specifically for Linux/GDB because of this. When it's available i'll post to the list.

I am building something (I call it labslave) like gdbserver, only for embedded environment. So, one can run this labslave on NT talking to Macraigor DLL one side, while communicating with remote GDB over standard remote protocol on anther side.. Current version is 0.1 and the only target supported is 'remote' (and I am looking for pre-beta testers). > > Im building my own interface, specifically for Linux/GDB because of > this.
