We do the same here and use a "proxy" GDBInterface which can communicate
with the
simulator (via pipes) or with the hardware (via COM port).

It's just like porting to a new arch, only the "child_create_inferior"
function either
launches the simulator or opens a connection to the hardware.
(Note that we're using a old gdb, things might be different in newer
versions)

HTH.

Bye.
