>From Graham Stoney's "Linux for PowerPC Embedded Systems HOWTO/FAQ", Section 18.2:
18.2 GDB Once the kernel is running, you can use gdb in several ways: native If you have lots of RAM, you can run it directly on your target. If you are cross developing, you need to configure gdb with: % configure --host=powerpc-linux gdbserver You can run gdbserver on your target and run gdb back on your development machine, even if you're cross developing. This requires far less resources than running all of gdb on your target. See the thread at : http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/200001/msg00156.html. (I did not see anything here about GDB--les) Get gdbserver, and see the enclosed README at: ftp://ftp.ppc.kernel.org/pub/linuxppc/embedded/gdbserver.tgz (I could not connect to this--les) If you're cross-developing, remember to configure your gdb as described earlier. . . . 18.3 Kernel It is not currently possible to use gdb for kenel debugging. . . . Hope this points you in the right direction.

I don't know if I must use gdbserver or simply gdb on target to debug via DDD. I have no ppcbug on my board. How can I compile gdb with host and target set to powerpc on my intel board ? When I want to compile gdbserser 4.18 on my pc, gdbserver directory is not created and no executable is generated !!! Thanks for your help. G.
