7.2. Running GDB

Once the Ashling* GDBServer is ready, the GDB can communicate with the Ashling* GDBServer via a TCP connection using GDB Remote Serial Protocol. Start the GDB with the application ELF file as an argument. To establish a TCP connection, use the target remote:<port> command in the GDB.
