[cdt-debug-dev] CDT 1.2.0.4 arm-elf-gdb debugging works w/eCos

[Øyvind Harboe <oyvind.harboe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've recently upgraded to CDT 1.2.0.4 and I can now debug
my eCos app(EB40a evaulation board).

Go team! :-)

Here is what I did:

- I'm using the "GDB debugger" type. I tried "GDB Server" first, but I
got nowhere.
- .gdbinit as follows:

set remotebaud 38400
target remote com1
load

- Modified the cpu="native"->cpu="native,arm" in the
*mi.core*/plugin.xml
for the "GDB debugger" type. 


Comments:

To be sure, I've filed a couple of bug-reports, but it is definitely
usable.
Given the response I've gotten to previous bugreports and the speed of
the
progress I've seen, I'm not too worried.

My modify, compile, debug cycle is shorter than it was when I used
Insight.

Shaves off about 2 minutes, + the experience is smoother e.g. I can 
set breakpoints in my source code.
