All Implemented Interfaces:

HelpItem

public class GDBServer

extends MonitorFactory

The GDBServer class implements a monitor that can communicate to gdb via the remote serial protocol (RSP). This allows Avrora to host a program that is executing but is being remotely debugged by gdb. This can all be done without modifications to the Simulator class, by simply using probes, watches, and events. NOTE: This monitor is only meant for a single node simulation!
