[U-Boot-Users] GDB support for ARM

Hello,

using U-Boot at an ARM9 board, at the moment I download a image by tftp 
into board's SDRAM and then start the image by 'g 0x1000000' (0x10000000 
is the SDRAM base address).

Now, I wonder if it is possible to start the image under control of gdb. 
  As I understand it, there can run a small 'gdb-stub' on the target 
which talks by serial line or by ethernet with the gdb on the 
development host.

In common/kgdb.c there seems to be something like this small 'gdb-stub'? 
Does it work for ARM? How can it be used?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a FAQ.

Regards

Dirk
