All,

I almost have a full working setup with GDB in Eclipse for debugging remotely 
on my target hardware, but it's not quite there.  Here's what I've done and 
where I'm at so far:

1. I have a custom image that I build, plus a few userspace applications.  I 
use bitbake at the command line to build the full image.  I have also built an 
SDK based on my production image and have been successfully using that SDK to 
build applications through Eclipse.
2. Followed the instructions for Eclipse as detailed in the "Working with 
Eclipse" section of the manual to install all the remote debugging related 
tools (GDB, TCF, etc.).
3. Created a dev image recipe that is the same as my base image recipe, except 
I added dev-pkgs and eclipse-debug to IMAGE_FEATURES.  For the userspace 
applications I want to debug, I changed their reference in IMAGE_INSTALL to 
list the "-dbg" packages instead of the standard packages.  I also added 
gdbserver to the IMAGE_INSTALL list.
4. Built my dev image and burned it to flash on my target hardware.
5. Upon starting my target hardware, I noticed that the executables and other 
supporting files for the packages I listed as -dbg were missing.  I then by 
hand installed the standard packages (opkg install foo) to get all the files I 
needed.
6. From Eclipse, I created a new Debug configuration as detailed in "Deploying 
and Debugging the Application" section to setup for Remote Application 
debugging using TCF.
7. I added a "set sysroot" line to the .gdbinit for my application to point to 
the sysroot listed in the SDK I built in step 1.
8. I then launch debug and I am able to start the application on my target 
hardware.  However, none of the source files are viewable.  I get the error "No 
source available for main()" in the source window.  I can run and pause the 
application and see the disassembly, but I can't see the source and set 
breakpoints.

This is the closest I've ever got to debugging with GDB.  Anyone know what 
final step I may be missing?  

Thanks,
Bryan
