[cdt-debug-dev] Remote debugging development in CDT

["goran pantar" <goran.pantar@xxxxxxxx>]

Our company is interested in remote debugging in Eclipse/CDT
(cygwin, mips-elf-gdb). Now it is possible to remotely debug using gdb.ini
file, in which target parameters are specified.

We would like to have these features in Eclipse/CDT:
1. Additional menu in Eclipse for specifying target settings, similar to one
in Insight (Remote/Serial, Baudrate, Port; Remote/TCP, Hostname, Port).
2. Not so important but also useful would be download bar (indicates
progress of downloading code to remote target)("downloading text section:
xyz bytes". where the xyz is update
while the download progresses)
3. The "Registers" view does not show the reg names for the MIPS
architecture.
This is one of the things you have in insight because when building it,
you configure it for a specific architecture. How can Eclipse ask this to
gdb, I do not know.
4. The stack view


We are ready to make these changes ourselves. But we would like to know if
somebody has already done it, just didn't release it jet.

Also if these changes are already planned in CDT, do you have any idea
when will it be released.

Best Regards
