this manual was produced; newer releases of VxWorks may use revised
procedures.
The remote debugging interface (RDB) routines are installed and executed
on the VxWorks target. These routines are included in the VxWorks library
@file{rdb.a} and are incorporated into the system image when source-level
debugging is enabled in the VxWorks configuration.
@kindex INCLUDE_RDB
If you wish, you can define @code{INCLUDE_RDB} in the VxWorks
configuration file @file{configAll.h} to include the RDB interface
routines and spawn the source debugging task @code{tRdbTask} when
VxWorks is booted. For more information on configuring and remaking
VxWorks, see the manufacturer's manual.
To use @value{GDBN} with VxWorks, you must rebuild your VxWorks kernel
to include the remote debugging interface routines in the VxWorks
library @file{rdb.a}. To do this, define @code{INCLUDE_RDB} in the
VxWorks configuration file @file{configAll.h} and rebuild your VxWorks
kernel. The resulting kernel will contain @file{rdb.a} and spawn the
source debugging task @code{tRdbTask} when VxWorks is booted. For more
information on configuring and remaking VxWorks, see the manufacturer's
manual.
@c VxWorks, see the @cite{VxWorks Programmer's Guide}.
Once you have included the RDB interface in your VxWorks system image
and set your Unix execution search path to find @value{GDBN}, you are ready
to run @value{GDBN}. From your Unix host, run @code{gdb} (or
@code{vxgdb}, depending on your installation).
