Fwd: [Balloon] Re: debuggers

Can you comment on what pieces I need to use to do remote debugging with gdb
from my machine?

I downloaded the gdb from another arm site, but loading it along with the
libncurses5 wouldn't work, so I removed (ipkg remove) them and corrupted my
balloon board root filesystem. (Lets not do that again.)

Do you have a copy of the gdb that works on the balloon board through the
console?

gdb is the normal one. Also ddd if you want a nicer interface.

You can run these on your desktop and connect to the balloon over serial or
the net, or you can run them on the balloon itself.

pre-built arm binaries are available from debian.org. local x86 versions
will be part of your normal distro.
