Dear Everyone,
Does the DSP/BIOS for C67x / c672x have a remote debugger gdb option
(serial/ethernet) OR
Has anybody used a remote debugger for DSP/BIOS on c67x / c672x
GDB- C67x dsp/bios remote debugger(serial/ethernet)

I do not know of an available implementation that supports GDB on a TI DSP
without running Linux.
FYI
GDB was originally written as a software only debugger. As such, it
required a software component on the target. The target software has to
execute instructions [that can be intrusive to the target state] to perform
any actions like memory reads/writes, register reads/writes, etc. These
constraints make low level debug difficult [sometimes impossible when you
have serious software problems] in an embedded system. Normal GDB
implementations are adequate for software debugging once you have "quite a
bit of working software" between it and the target [and you do not need to
perform low level debug]. Several years ago I took some work done by a TIer
and did a 'proof of concept' that ran GDB on a Linux host and interfaced
with TI's JTAG debug logic on a 6211DSK [no GDB code on the target - could
be used for HW or SW debug]. As far as I know, nothing ever came of it.

thank you for reply.
can you tell any other option is available to debug TMS320C6727 Dsp if JTAG is not available.
regards
