GDB is for use with the other GNU tools: GCC, and GNU Binutils, which contains the GNU assmebler (also known as "gas"). To be more specific, AVR GDB works with the ELF file format (which is produced by the GNU linker, "ld"), and can work with either the "stabs" debug information (embedded in the ELF file), or sometimes with DWARF-2 debug information embedded in the ELF file. BTW, the ELF file format and DWARF-2 debug information format are publicly available standards. If avra can produce this kind of ELF file, with the right kind of debug information, then perhaps AVR GDB can then debug that file. _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
