Hi Chris and thanks for looking into this,
Your proposal is very reasonable. I wasn't sure what to write but I've given it a try in this replacement commit.
To be honest, I don't know why the AVR target isn't supported in the standard GDB
build and I haven't been able to figure out how to list all supported targets. I'm new to GDB in general so
I don't know if I'm the right person to do this writeup.
and the standard gdb gives me a bunch of error messages when I connect to dwtk's remote gdbserver. I'm guessing this
incompatibility applies to all gdbservers implemented for AVR chips. I haven't found much clarity of this in the GDB docs.
I presume this is the reason most distros package avr-gdb separately from gdb like we're doing here.
mentioned that this is for the specific AVR microcontroller architecture. Please let me know if that's good enough.
Thanks,
K.
