|  | RTEMS is difficult to debug, since the default GDB behaviour follows a language based approch and developer will have to debug the application+RTEMS stack as a whole. We are in process of developing a new set of extenstions for GDB to play nice with RTEMS. The intial code is available in this [github repository](https://github.com/dbalan/rtems-gdb). | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To use the extenstion,  | ||
|  |  - Clone the repository | ||
|  | {% codeblock lang:bash %} | ||
|  | git clone git@github.com:dbalan/rtems-gdb.git | ||
|  | {% endcodeblock %} | ||
|  |  - Assuming you have a working [RTEMS toolchain](/blog/2013/05/28/getting-started-with-rtems-on-archlinux/), spin up the GDB and source the code. | ||
|  | {% codeblock lang:bash %} | ||
|  | $ sparc-rtems4.11-gdb  | ||
