Forum Post: RE: Can I get a full gdb running on the AM335x

I tried out 'full' native ARM GDB running on the BeagleBone.  I think I used these instructions (or similiar):

I remember that it was a bit too slow, and it almost ran out of memory (256MB BeagleBone) for my Qt application.  I used NFS to share the object and source files.  In the end I decided it wasn't very usable.  So now I do all my debugging by debugging a native x86 build of the app in Linux on my PC, which is much faster.
