Remote Debugging on A Cross system [message #65052]

HI
We are using a Motorola ColdFire MCF 5272 (later a MCF 5282) target
including BDM/JTAG for debugging and also a serial port to communicate
with the dBUG monitor. We develop on a windows platform (with cygwin or
also MinGW)
We want to use our own C/C++ IDE: Eclipse and the corresponding GNU Tools.
Our main problems is the understanding of the debugger (GDB/MI):
We can't see the big picture:
We compile our source files including debugging option on the host for our
target.
Now we have to download it to the target(Does the gdb provide this? Do we
need additional SW tools?)
And what about the debugger now? How does communication from the processor
to Eclipse/GDB work? What is this GDB/MI interface exactely? We understood
that Eclipse support the GDB/MI, but which are the requirements for the
processor?

May be some of you are also working with a target platform using Eclipse
and C/C++. Which steps do we have to follow in order to be able to remote
debug?
We are happy about your ideas and hints.
Thanks! Best regards, Katja

Does anyone have any war-stories or links?

We're doing an ARM7 project were I suppose we'd end up using something
like gnude.sourceforge.net, Eclipse and Abatron/Ethernet/JTAG.

Since we're using Eclipse for Java projects as well, it seemed like a good
idea to take Eclipse CDT for a spin.

We're also sniffing at the possibility of using GCJ to reduce the amount
of book-keeping code that we do in C++(the idea being to use C++ for the
more hardware/performance critical stuff).
