15 GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is
16 going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or
17 what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
19 This option allows to build gdbserver and/or the gdb
20 debugger for the target.
22 For embedded development, the most common solution is to
23 build only 'gdbserver' for the target, and use a cross-gdb
24 on the host. See BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB in the Toolchain menu
25 to enable one. Notice that external toolchains often provide
26 their own pre-built cross-gdb and gdbserver binaries.

54 This option enables terminal user interface (TUI) for gdb
56 "The GDB Text User Interface (TUI) is a terminal interface
57 which uses the curses library to show the source file, the
58 assembly output, the program registers and GDB commands in
59 separate text windows."
