There are a number of other ways to use RDI besides rdi-share. I believe Cygnus produced an RDI<->GDB conversion daemon and it may still be available from Red Hat; I know CodeSourcery also ships such a beast: http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains/arm/faq.html#c_rdi We're only talking about the in-tree copy of rdi-share, which is a different beast alltogether. I don't even think it works with some current RDI targets. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
