Gdb server relevant source files gdb server is a remote debugging stub that allows gdb to debug programs running on different machines, embedded systems, or in different environments It implements the gdb remote serial protocol, acting as a lightweight proxy between gdb and the target program being debugged The gdb server is an indispensable tool that greatly aids in the software debugging process (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyb communicates with the server via serial line /dev/ttyb, and
