+@section Commands
+
+The usual GDB commands are available to display or modify data structures and
+machine registers, disassemble code, display source listings, set and reset
+breakpoints, control the debuggee execution, etc. Refer to Debugging with GDB
+for a complete documentation of the standard GDB commands.
+
+GDB 4.17 has been extended with a number of commands specifically
+for multi-threaded debugging within a RTEMS host-target environment. These commands
+are described in this section.
+
+
+@subsection Host-target connection control
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) setrpcmode sun : specifies the SUN RPC type.
+@item (gdb) setdaemontype rdbg : specifies the RDBG debug server type.
+@item (gdb) target rtems target-name : specifies the target type.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection System status information
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) info threads : gives a list of all threads in the debuggee,
+their names, identifiers and states. It also indicates which thread is
+the target thread.
+@end itemize
+
+
+@subsection Thread control
+
+@itemize
+@item (gdb) thread target [id] : allows the user to get/set the target thread.
+The argument id is either the thread's symbolic name or its local identifier.
+@item (gdb) thread detach [id...] : all stops (breakpoints) of some specified
+thread(s) can be ignored using the thread detach command. Each time a detached
+thread hits a breakpoint, RTEMS/GDB will automatically restart the debuggee
+without passing control to the user.
+@item (gdb) thread attach [id...] : (re)attach specified thread(s).
+@end itemize
+
+
+

+
+GDB 4.17 is a source-level symbolic debugger for RTEMS environment.
+This version is an extension of GNU GDB version 4.17, adapted for the debugging
+of RTEMS applications in a heterogeneous host-target environment.
+
+This paper documents @b{only} the RTEMS/GDB extensions to GNU
+GDB 4.17, as well as its use in the RTEMS environment. The reader is assumed
+to be familiar with GNU GDB.

+@section Getting Started
+
+This section describes the steps which are necessary to set up a
+debugging session with RTEMS/GDB.
+
+
+@subsection Compiling The System Components
+
+The components that need to be debugged have to be compiled with the -g option
+in order the generated file to contain the required information for the debug
+session.
+
+
+@subsection Starting a debugging session
+
+After having launched GDB, the user must connect to the RTEMS target with the
+following commands:
+
+@example
+
+(gdb) setrpcmode sun
+
+(gdb) setdaemontype rdbg
+
+(gdb) target rtems target-name
+
+@end example
+
+Then he can use the file GDB command to specify the binary to be debugged.
+
+This initialization phase can be written in a @code{``.gdbinit''}
+file. Each time, the user will launch GDB, it will execute this initialization
+sequence.
+
+
+@subsection Attaching To The System
+
+The entire target system is viewed as a single multi-threaded process,
+the identifier of which is 1. To attach, use:
+
+@example
+(gdb) attach 1
+@end example
+
+When successfully attached, the user can control the execution of
+the target system from the debugger.

+@chapter Software Architecture
+
+RTEMS/GDB host-target debugger is architectured around:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item One debugger, running on the host.
+@item One debug server, running on the target.
+@end itemize
+
+The host debugger communicates with the debug server using Sun RPC
+over UDP/IP (Ethernet).
+
+When opening a debugging session, the user takes the control over
+the entire target system. The target system is viewed as a single multi-threaded
+process.
+
+The debugger can observe the state of the system objects, without
+stopping the entire system. However, breakpoints and stepping affect (stop)
+the entire system.
+
+For a given target, only one single system debugging session is possible
+at a time.

+@section Troubleshooting
+
+This section describes symptoms in some situations where the debugger does not
+work correctly, and it gives guidelines for resolving the problems encountered. 
+
+
+@subsection Target machine name unknown on the host
+
+RTEMS/GDB fails to connect to target machine named my_target:
+
+@example
+(gdb) target rtems my_target 
+
+Attaching remote machine across net... Invalid hostname. Couldn't find remote
+host address.
+@end example
+
+@i{==> Ask your system administrator to add an entry with the
+Internet number of machine my_target in the file /etc/hosts on your host machine. }
+
+
+@subsection{Debug server not present
+
+The target rtems command fails:
+
+@example
+
+(gdb) target rtems my\_target
+
+Attaching remote machine across net... RPC timed out. Couldn't connect
+to remote target
+
+@end example
+
+
+@i{==> Verify that the target system is properly configured,
+and is running the debugging daemon and communication stack.}
+
+
