[avr-gcc-list] How to debug AT90S8515/ATmega8515?

[Günter Dannoritzer]

Hi,

I have been searching for a way to debug code for the 
AT90S8515/ATmega8515 using the GNU tool chain.

As those devices don't have a JTAG interface I cannot use the ICE cable 
and GDB with them. Or is there another way to use GDB with them?

So far I did my debugging with print statements in the code, now I have 
some issues where I suspect some low memory or stack issues and would 
like to use a debugger to verify that.

I remember seeing on the Atmel web page an application note about using 
gcc and creating debug information for AVR Studio, but I did not find it 
anymore. Did Atmel move away from supporting avr-gcc?

Thanks for the help.
