Hi everyone,

I'm new to PIC programming. I got a programmer, a PIC18F452 and my first
LED flashing program running last Thursday. Since then I've been
learning something new every day.

I've been looking at debugging solutions. As I'm just a hobbyist at PIC
programming I don't want to spend lots of money on an ICD, so I thought
of GDB connected via a serial port would be a nice alternative. After
some searching I haven't found anything.

With that in mind I started to implement the remote protocol for the
PIC18. It can communicate with GDB, but doesn't yet return anything
useful.

I noticed that there is GDB support for the AVR chips. From my brief
investigation it seems that 3 parts are needed for basic support in GDB.
1) remote stub running on the device 2) opcode/disassembler 3) binary
file loader

I wonder if anybody is working on any of these or would be willing to
having a hack ?

Cheers
Mark
