Documentation

Basic instructions on using GDB with the OpenRISC 1000 can be found in the main GDB manual (as a texinfo file in the gdb/doc subdirectory). A more detailed explanation can be found in or1k.texinfo in the same directory.

These documents may be converted to HTML, PDF, info files or PostScript by the commands "make html", "make pdf", "make info" and "make ps" respectively in the gdb/doc subdirectory of the build directory.
