It's disadvantage is, that you need _TWO_ computers connected with a serial wire to use it. The easiest solution is to use user-mode linux (http://user-mode-linux.sf.net). It is a linux kernel running in a normal process, so you can attach normal gdb to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
