Re: Problems with remote debugging on MBX860

Pedro,
All  you need to add is the -ggdb option after the -g in your build of
your application. This option provides gdb with more information
about local variables that -g cannot. Everything else should be fine.
If you were going to debug a kernel using gdb you would not be
using gdbserver.
