  21    GDB enables developers to debug tasks running on
  22 Sparclet targets from a Unix host.
  23 GDB uses code that runs on
  24 both the Unix host and on the Sparclet target.  The program
  25 <code>gdb</code> is installed and executed on the Unix host.
  26
  27      <dl>
  28 <dt><code>remotetimeout </code><var>args</var><code></code>
  29      <dd>GDB supports the option <code>remotetimeout</code>.
  30 This option is set by the user, and  <var>args</var> represents the number of
  31 seconds GDB waits for responses.
  32 </dl>
  33
  34    <p>When compiling for debugging, include the options <code>-g</code> to get debug
  35 information and <code>-Ttext</code> to relocate the program to where you wish to
  36 load it on the target.  You may also want to add the options <code>-n</code> or
  37 <code>-N</code> in order to reduce the size of the sections.  Example:
  38
  39 <pre class="example">     sparclet-aout-gcc prog.c -Ttext 0x12010000 -g -o prog -N
  40      </pre>
  41
  42    <p>You can use <code>objdump</code> to verify that the addresses are what you intended:
  43
  44 <pre class="example">     sparclet-aout-objdump --headers --syms prog
  45      </pre>
  46
  47    <p>Once you have set
  48 your Unix execution search path to find GDB, you are ready to
  49 run GDB.  From your Unix host, run <code>gdb</code>
  50 (or <code>sparclet-aout-gdb</code>, depending on your installation).
  51
  52    GDB comes up showing the prompt:
  53
  54 <pre class="example">     (gdbslet)
  55      </pre>
