You can write a gdbserver-like part in your simulator. Then communicate
with GDB using TCP, UART or other way.

I don't know if it is possible. From my point of view, maybe it is harder
than writing a gdbserver. Because GDB's build-in simulator is possibly
working in totally different way with your simulator. You should change
yours to meet its demands. Writing a gdbserver is only adding something,
it can work well with different version of GDB.
