This is an interesting question. I was thinking about combining Python
and GDB debugging, e.g. Python script simulating an integrated
circuit.
They ways of controlling the simulation would be pretty limited, though.

Right now I think simulavr cannot be used from GDB and Python at the same time.
Or maybe you can: you can derive a python class from Hardware, attach
yourself to pins/networks and add itself to
AvrDevice::AddToCycleList(). And create GdbServer and then call
SystemClock::Endless().

You cannot simulate multiple AVR chips with GDB because our GDB
processing code does not support multiple processes and we cannot
pretend multiple GDB servers now.
