As far as I know, no one has implemented a TIC54x target for GDB.
(if it was implemented, it would be configured using something like: 
--target=--target=tic54x).

If you're interested in adding tic54x support to GDB, then have a look 
at the xstormy16 and cris targets.  (You'll also want to arrange an FSF 
copyright assignment so that your work can be included in the official GDB).

Either remotely, or with a built-in simulator.

nope :-)
