Hi!

I can confirm, the Dicos product is stilll active, and we are still relying on the GDB support.

Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

The Dicos product is still active but I am not longer associated with it. Let me forward this to someone (@Balázs Samu Fekete<mailto:balazs.samu.fekete@ericsson.com>) more knowledgeable.

Best regards,
Laszlo Benedek

Hi László,

I stumbled on Dicos today, as I was working on a feature, so I thought
I'd do a check-in with you. Can you confirm that the Dicos port is
still used? Also, do you guys really use upstream GDB for this, not an
ancient version? Given that there was no updates regarding Dicos in
many many years, I would actually be a bit surprised if the port hadn't
bit-rotten a little bit.

Thanks!

Simon
