Already-running tasks spawned from +the VxWorks shell can also be debugged. _GDBN__ uses code that runs on +both the UNIX host and on the VxWorks target. The program +@code{_GDBP__} is installed and executed on the UNIX host. + +The remote debugging interface (RDB) routines are installed and executed +on the VxWorks target. These routines are included in the VxWorks library +@file{rdb.a} and are incorporated into the system image when source-level +debugging is enabled in the VxWorks configuration. + +@kindex INCLUDE_RDB +You can define @code{INCLUDE_RDB} in the VxWorks configuration file +@file{configAll.h} to include the RDB interface routines and spawn the +source debugging task @code{tRdbTask} when VxWorks is booted.

When this happens, +you should add the appropriate directory to the search path, with the +_GDBN__ command @code{path}, and execute the @code{target} command +again. + +@node VxWorks download, VxWorks attach, VxWorks connection, VxWorks Remote +@subsubsection VxWorks Download + +@cindex download to VxWorks +If you have connected to the VxWorks target and you want to debug an +object that has not yet been loaded, you can use the _GDBN__ @code{load} +command to download a file from UNIX to VxWorks incrementally. The +object file given as an argument to the @code{load} command is actually +opened twice: first by the VxWorks target in order to download the code, +then by _GDBN__ in order to read the symbol table. This can lead to +problems if the current working directories on the two systems differ. +It is simplest to set the working directory on both systems to the +directory in which the object file resides, and then to reference the +file by its name, without any path.
