Remote debugging using gnu DDD
Question:
- Is it possible to debug, when the target is on a remote host?
Example:
# ddd --debugger /usr/bin/bashdb <sript-name> (on remote host)
Answer
Use gdbserver on the target (remote) machine as explained there. Then follow the config steps for gdb remote debugging (look up the gdb doc), typing the commands in the ddd console window (it's a pass through to the gdb prompt).
This could be something like this (if your link to the target were an USB to serial link, for instance):
(gdb) set remotebaud 115200
(gdb) target remote /dev/ttyUSB0
or
(gdb) target remote the-target:2345
to debug the gdbserver on IP the-target,using TCP port 2345.
