  66. <a name="index-remote-serial-debugging-summary"></a>
  67. <p>In summary, when your program is ready to debug, you must follow these
  68. steps.
  69. </p>
  70. <ol>
  71. <li> Make sure you have defined the supporting low-level routines
  72. (see <a href="Bootstrapping.html#Bootstrapping">What You Must Do for the Stub</a>):
  73. <div class="display">
  74. <pre class="display"><code>getDebugChar</code>, <code>putDebugChar</code>,
  75. <code>flush_i_cache</code>, <code>memset</code>, <code>exceptionHandler</code>.
  76. </pre></div>
  77. </li><li> Insert these lines in your program&rsquo;s startup code, before the main
  78. procedure is called:
  79. <div class="smallexample">
  80. <pre class="smallexample">set_debug_traps();
  81. breakpoint();
  82. </pre></div>
  83. <p>On some machines, when a breakpoint trap is raised, the hardware
  84. automatically makes the PC point to the instruction after the
  85. breakpoint. If your machine doesn&rsquo;t do that, you may need to adjust
  86. <code>handle_exception</code> to arrange for it to return to the instruction
  87. after the breakpoint on this first invocation, so that your program
  88. doesn&rsquo;t keep hitting the initial breakpoint instead of making
  89. progress.
  90. </p>
  91. </li><li> For the 680x0 stub only, you need to provide a variable called
  92. <code>exceptionHook</code>. Normally you just use:
  93. <div class="smallexample">
  94. <pre class="smallexample">void (*exceptionHook)() = 0;
  95. </pre></div>
  96. <p>but if before calling <code>set_debug_traps</code>, you set it to point to a
  97. function in your program, that function is called when
  98. <code><small>GDB</small></code> continues after stopping on a trap (for example, bus
  99. error). The function indicated by <code>exceptionHook</code> is called with
  100. one parameter: an <code>int</code> which is the exception number.
  101. </p>
  102. </li><li> Compile and link together: your program, the <small>GDB</small> debugging stub for
  103. your target architecture, and the supporting subroutines.
  104. </li><li> Make sure you have a serial connection between your target machine and
  105. the <small>GDB</small> host, and identify the serial port on the host.
  106. </li><li> Download your program to your target machine (or get it there by
  107. whatever means the manufacturer provides), and start it.
  108. </li><li> Start <small>GDB</small> on the host, and connect to the target
  109. (see <a href="Connecting.html#Connecting">Connecting to a Remote Target</a>).
  110. </li></ol>
