Yes, connecting to the gdbstub via TCP works fine. The source of confusion was that the gdb manual page https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/gdb.html#gdb-usage allows us to use something other than TCP: > If you want to specify which TCP port to use or to use something other than > TCP for the gdbstub connection, use the -gdb dev option instead of -s. So my first thought was to try to establish GDB connectionn using a serial port. Or what is the potential use-case of such "other than TCP" gdbstub connection? Regards, Dmitrii
