<h3 class="section">4.3 Using a ROM monitor as a backend</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>GDB also can mimic a human user and use a ROM monitors normal debug
|
||
|
|
commands as a backend. This consists mostly of sending and parsing
|
||
|
|
<code>ASCII</code> strings. All the ROM monitor interfaces share a common set
|
||
|
|
of routines in <code>gdb/monitor.c</code>. This supports adding new ROM
|
||
|
|
monitor interfaces by filling in a structure with the common commands
|
||
|
|
GDB needs. GDb already supports several command ROM monitors, including
|
||
|
|
Motorola’s <code>Bug</code> monitor for their VME boards, and the Rom68k
|
||
|
|
monitor by Integrated Systems, Inc. for various m68k based boards. GDB
|
||
|
|
also supports the custom ROM monitors on the WinBond and Oki PA based
|
||
|
|
targets. There is builtin support for loading files to ROM monitors
|
||
|
|
specifically. GDB can convert a binary into an srecord and then load it
|
||
|
|
as an ascii file, or using <code>xmodem</code>.
