@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.
