Description
AVaRICE is a program which interfaces the GNU Debugger with the AVR JTAG ICE, and other debuggers, available from Atmel. It connects to gdb via a TCP socket and communicates via gdb's "serial debug protocol".
This protocol allows gdb to send commands like "set/remove breakpoint" and "read/write memory". AVaRICE translates this commands into the Atmel protocol used to control the JTAG ICE (or other) debugger.
Because the GDB-AVaRICE connection is via a TCP socket, the two programs do not need to run on the same machine.
The currently supported debuggers are:
* JTAG ICE mkI * JTAG ICE mkII * AVR Dragon
