<h3 class="section">20.5 Implementing a Remote Stub</h3>

<a name="index-debugging-stub_002c-example"></a>
<a name="index-remote-stub_002c-example"></a>
<a name="index-stub-example_002c-remote-debugging"></a>
<p>The stub files provided with <small>GDB</small> implement the target side of the
communication protocol, and the <small>GDB</small> side is implemented in the
<small>GDB</small> source file <samp>remote.c</samp>.  Normally, you can simply allow
these subroutines to communicate, and ignore the details.  (If you&rsquo;re
implementing your own stub file, you can still ignore the details: start
with one of the existing stub files.  <samp>sparc-stub.c</samp> is the best
organized, and therefore the easiest to read.)
</p>
<a name="index-remote-serial-debugging_002c-overview"></a>
<p>To debug a program running on another machine (the debugging
<em>target</em> machine), you must first arrange for all the usual
prerequisites for the program to run by itself.  For example, for a C
program, you need:
</p>
<ol>
<li> A startup routine to set up the C runtime environment; these usually
have a name like <samp>crt0</samp>.  The startup routine may be supplied by
your hardware supplier, or you may have to write your own.

</li><li> A C subroutine library to support your program&rsquo;s
subroutine calls, notably managing input and output.

</li><li> A way of getting your program to the other machine&mdash;for example, a
download program.  These are often supplied by the hardware
manufacturer, but you may have to write your own from hardware
documentation.
</li></ol>

<p>The next step is to arrange for your program to use a serial port to
communicate with the machine where <small>GDB</small> is running (the <em>host</em>
machine).  In general terms, the scheme looks like this:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><em>On the host,</em></dt>
<dd><p><small>GDB</small> already understands how to use this protocol; when everything
else is set up, you can simply use the &lsquo;<samp>target remote</samp>&rsquo; command
(see <a href="Targets.html#Targets">Specifying a Debugging Target</a>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>On the target,</em></dt>
<dd><p>you must link with your program a few special-purpose subroutines that
implement the <small>GDB</small> remote serial protocol.  The file containing these
subroutines is called  a <em>debugging stub</em>.
</p>
<p>On certain remote targets, you can use an auxiliary program
<code>gdbserver</code> instead of linking a stub into your program.
See <a href="Server.html#Server">Using the <code>gdbserver</code> Program</a>, for details.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>The debugging stub is specific to the architecture of the remote
machine; for example, use <samp>sparc-stub.c</samp> to debug programs on
<small>SPARC</small> boards.
</p>
<a name="index-remote-serial-stub-list"></a>
<p>These working remote stubs are distributed with <small>GDB</small>:
