Re: [avr-gcc-list] avr-gdb patches

[Jeff Rose]

Yeah I think so.  You should be able to compile the newest gdb for the
avr without any patches.  I have just started using simulavr, but I don't
think it really has any peripherals implemented yet.  I don't think it
would be a ton of work to implement timers if you wanted to though.  Its
basically a matter of calculating cycles per instruction and then doing
the math to implement pre-scalers...  It doesn't need any hardware though.
If you want in circuit emulation the JTAG dongle with avarice and gdb is
the way to go.
