That depends on too many things for us to guess. For instance, how your debug interfaces work within your OS, whether you are interested in threading, and how much OS functionality you want to make available. I recommend reading the remote protocol documentation from the GDB manual, to get a feeling for how much you need. You won't need all the packets documented there, though. > My team will probably do a Linux GDB/MI implementation in DSF > (http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/dd/). Great to hear someone is working on this - I am very interested in DSF. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
