====== Stefan Hajnoczi: GDB Remote Debugging ======

===== Week 4 =====

**Milestones:**
  * Get latest GDB stub work into mainline.

==== Mon Jun 16 ====
The GDB stub is almost ready for mainline review.  I need to polish it a little and update the documentation.  The real test will be when developers begin using it for everyday work.

I want to get the GDB stub work ready today or tomorrow at latest.  Once it goes into mainline I will put effort into making developers know that GDB debugging is there and how to use it.

Next steps:
  * Choose and document a simple way to manually call into the debugger.
  * Improve flow control so that GDB does not print warnings.
  * Update [[:dev:gdbstub|GDB stub page]] and screencast when UDP code is merged into mainline.  See [[http://grub.enbug.org/DebuggingWithGDB|GRUB GDB wiki page]] for inspiration.
