The gdb sources come with some documentation. When you build the gdb
documentation you should end up with two sets of info pages, one for
using gdb and another called "The GNU debugger's internals". I have
not read the latter in any great detail, but it looks like there is a
section on the Target Vector Definition which describes the standard
protocol and remote stubs. RedBoot implements the target side of this
protocol, and that is generally what is used for debugging eCos
applications.
For additional information, see http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/ and
the various gdb-related mailing lists hosted on sources.redhat.com.
