I use remote debugging by gdbserver running on Raspberry Pi. The target uses
the Rpi X11 server, so one needs to see the Rpi screen and reach the target
keyboard and mouse in order to debug a graphical application with this setup.
As one gets older, not having to reach out to an extra keyboard or
swivel to concentrate on an extra screen becomes a blessing. Trust me.
Until recently, one could debug many embedded systems using a serial
(RS232) connection: Logitech did good work on this. These days, one can
debug many using telnet or SSH. In either of these cases, debugging
sessions can appear in a window on ones main screen: I certainly hope
that my days of having to do a Rick Wakeman impersonation, with two
computers and a Tektronix logic analyser, are past.
