| You can run the Sourcery G++ Debug Sprite on a different machine |
| from the one on which GDB is running. For example, if your board |
| is connected to a machine in your lab, you can run the debugger on |
| your laptop and connect to the remote board. The Sourcery G++ Debug |
| Sprite must run on the machine that is connected to the target |
| board. |
| You must have Sourcery G++ |
| |
| installed on both machines. |
| </p><p>To use this mode, you must start the Sprite with the |
| <code class="option">-l</code> option and specify the port on which you want |
| it to listen. For example: |
| |
| </p><pre class="screen">> arm-none-linux-gnueabi-sprite -l :10000 <em class="replaceable"><code>device-url</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>board-file</code></em></pre><p> |
| |
| starts the Sprite listening on port 10000.</p><p> |
| |
| When running GDB from the command line, use the following |
| command to connect GDB to the remote Sprite: |
| |
| </p><pre class="screen">(gdb) target remote <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em>:10000</pre><p> |
| |
| where |
| <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em> is the name of the remote machine. |
| After this, debugging is just as if you are debugging a target |
| board connected to your host machine. |
| </p><p> |
