The *client* side is going to need a gdb agent of some sort; gdbserver might work if the embedded machine is sufficiently Unix-like. Otherwise, you may need a custom gdb on your FreeBSD machine as well as a debugging agent on the target. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
