<p><a name="index-remote-serial-debugging-summary-1438"></a>In summary, when your program is ready to debug, you must follow these
steps.
<ol type=1 start=1>
<li>Make sure you have defined the supporting low-level routines
(see <a href="Bootstrapping.html#Bootstrapping">What You Must Do for the Stub</a>):
<pre class="display"> <code>getDebugChar</code>, <code>putDebugChar</code>,
<code>flush_i_cache</code>, <code>memset</code>, <code>exceptionHandler</code>.
</pre>
<li>Insert these lines in your program's startup code, before the main
procedure is called:
<pre class="smallexample"> set_debug_traps();
breakpoint();
</pre>
<p>On some machines, when a breakpoint trap is raised, the hardware
automatically makes the PC point to the instruction after the
breakpoint. If your machine doesn't do that, you may need to adjust
<code>handle_exception</code> to arrange for it to return to the instruction
after the breakpoint on this first invocation, so that your program
doesn't keep hitting the initial breakpoint instead of making
progress.
<li>For the 680x0 stub only, you need to provide a variable called
<code>exceptionHook</code>. Normally you just use:
<pre class="smallexample"> void (*exceptionHook)() = 0;
</pre>
<p class="noindent">but if before calling <code>set_debug_traps</code>, you set it to point to a
function in your program, that function is called when
<span class="sc">gdb</span> continues after stopping on a trap (for example, bus
error). The function indicated by <code>exceptionHook</code> is called with
one parameter: an <code>int</code> which is the exception number.
<li>Compile and link together: your program, the <span class="sc">gdb</span> debugging stub for
your target architecture, and the supporting subroutines.
<li>Make sure you have a serial connection between your target machine and
the <span class="sc">gdb</span> host, and identify the serial port on the host.
<li><!-- The "remote" target now provides a `load' command, so we should -->
<!-- document that. FIXME. -->
Download your program to your target machine (or get it there by
whatever means the manufacturer provides), and start it.
<li>Start <span class="sc">gdb</span> on the host, and connect to the target
(see <a href="Connecting.html#Connecting">Connecting to a Remote Target</a>).
