Summary: Interface for GDB to Atmel AVR JTAG ICE in circuit emulator
Description:
AVaRICE is a program which interfaces the GNU Debugger with the AVR JTAG ICE available from Atmel. AVaRICE runs on a POSIX machine and connects to gdb via a TCP socket and communicates via gdb's "serial debug protocol". This protocol allows gdb to send commands like "set/remove breakpoint" and "read/write memory". AVaRICE translates these commands into the Atmel protocol used to control the AVR JTAG ICE. Connection to the AVR JTAG ICE is via a serial port on the POSIX machine. Because the GDB <---> AVaRICE connection is via a TCP socket, the two programs do not need to run on the same machine. In an office environment, this allows a developer to debug a target in the lab from the comfort of their cube (or even better, their home!)
