Re: [avr-gcc-list] gdb and the stk500

[Shaun Jackman]

On the stk500 there's a at90s8535 that controls the target 
chip. I'm not totally familiar with the board yet, but I thought it 
might be controlling the target chip through jtag. In which case, the 
serial connection to the master could be used to debug the target 
chip. Does the stk500 have a debug protocol built into it?

My question boils down to this. With just a stk500 connected to my 
serial port, is there any way to make "(gdb) target remote 
/dev/ttyS0" work?

Thanks,
Shaun
