Re: "GDB remote protocol?"

remote-mips.c uses a different protocol which is completely different
from the GDB remote protocol.  I can't remember who developed it, but
I think it was IDT.  The protocol framing is described in a long
comment starting around line 150 of the file.  The protocol commands
are described in a comment before the function mips_request().
Looking at the code, I see that some new commands have been added here
and there; I'm not sure whether those are documented in the file
anywhere.
