-@c OBSOLETE @cindex running 29K programs
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE AMD distributes a 29K development board meant to fit in a PC, together
-@c OBSOLETE with a DOS-hosted monitor program called @code{EBMON}. As a shorthand
-@c OBSOLETE term, this development system is called the ``EB29K''. To use
-@c OBSOLETE @value{GDBN} from a Unix system to run programs on the EB29K board, you
-@c OBSOLETE must first connect a serial cable between the PC (which hosts the EB29K
-@c OBSOLETE board) and a serial port on the Unix system. In the following, we
-@c OBSOLETE assume you've hooked the cable between the PC's @file{COM1} port and
-@c OBSOLETE @file{/dev/ttya} on the Unix system.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @node Comms (EB29K)
-@c OBSOLETE @subsubsection Communications setup
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE The next step is to set up the PC's port, by doing something like this
-@c OBSOLETE in DOS on the PC:
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE C:\> MODE com1:9600,n,8,1,none
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @noindent
-@c OBSOLETE This example---run on an MS DOS 4.0 system---sets the PC port to 9600
-@c OBSOLETE bps, no parity, eight data bits, one stop bit, and no ``retry'' action;
-@c OBSOLETE you must match the communications parameters when establishing the Unix
-@c OBSOLETE end of the connection as well.
-@c OBSOLETE @c FIXME: Who knows what this "no retry action" crud from the DOS manual may
-@c OBSOLETE @c mean? It's optional; leave it out? ---doc@cygnus.com, 25feb91
-@c OBSOLETE @c
-@c OBSOLETE @c It's optional, but it's unwise to omit it: who knows what is the
-@c OBSOLETE @c default value set when the DOS machines boots? "No retry" means that
-@c OBSOLETE @c the DOS serial device driver won't retry the operation if it fails;
-@c OBSOLETE @c I understand that this is needed because the GDB serial protocol
-@c OBSOLETE @c handles any errors and retransmissions itself. ---Eli Zaretskii, 3sep99
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE To give control of the PC to the Unix side of the serial line, type
-@c OBSOLETE the following at the DOS console:
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE C:\> CTTY com1
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @noindent
-@c OBSOLETE (Later, if you wish to return control to the DOS console, you can use
-@c OBSOLETE the command @code{CTTY con}---but you must send it over the device that
-@c OBSOLETE had control, in our example over the @file{COM1} serial line.)
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE From the Unix host, use a communications program such as @code{tip} or
-@c OBSOLETE @code{cu} to communicate with the PC; for example,
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE cu -s 9600 -l /dev/ttya
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @noindent
-@c OBSOLETE The @code{cu} options shown specify, respectively, the linespeed and the
-@c OBSOLETE serial port to use. If you use @code{tip} instead, your command line
-@c OBSOLETE may look something like the following:
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE tip -9600 /dev/ttya
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @noindent
-@c OBSOLETE Your system may require a different name where we show
-@c OBSOLETE @file{/dev/ttya} as the argument to @code{tip}. The communications
-@c OBSOLETE parameters, including which port to use, are associated with the
-@c OBSOLETE @code{tip} argument in the ``remote'' descriptions file---normally the
-@c OBSOLETE system table @file{/etc/remote}.
-@c OBSOLETE @c FIXME: What if anything needs doing to match the "n,8,1,none" part of
-@c OBSOLETE @c the DOS side's comms setup? cu can support -o (odd
-@c OBSOLETE @c parity), -e (even parity)---apparently no settings for no parity or
-@c OBSOLETE @c for character size. Taken from stty maybe...? John points out tip
-@c OBSOLETE @c can set these as internal variables, eg ~s parity=none; man stty
-@c OBSOLETE @c suggests that it *might* work to stty these options with stdin or
-@c OBSOLETE @c stdout redirected... ---doc@cygnus.com, 25feb91
-@c OBSOLETE @c
-@c OBSOLETE @c There's nothing to be done for the "none" part of the DOS MODE
-@c OBSOLETE @c command. The rest of the parameters should be matched by the
-@c OBSOLETE @c baudrate, bits, and parity used by the Unix side. ---Eli Zaretskii, 3Sep99
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @kindex EBMON
-@c OBSOLETE Using the @code{tip} or @code{cu} connection, change the DOS working
-@c OBSOLETE directory to the directory containing a copy of your 29K program, then
-@c OBSOLETE start the PC program @code{EBMON} (an EB29K control program supplied
-@c OBSOLETE with your board by AMD). You should see an initial display from
-@c OBSOLETE @code{EBMON} similar to the one that follows, ending with the
-@c OBSOLETE @code{EBMON} prompt @samp{#}---

-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE Then exit the @code{cu} or @code{tip} program (done in the example by
-@c OBSOLETE typing @code{~.} at the @code{EBMON} prompt). @code{EBMON} keeps
-@c OBSOLETE running, ready for @value{GDBN} to take over.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE For this example, we've assumed what is probably the most convenient
-@c OBSOLETE way to make sure the same 29K program is on both the PC and the Unix
-@c OBSOLETE system: a PC/NFS connection that establishes ``drive @file{G:}'' on the
-@c OBSOLETE PC as a file system on the Unix host. If you do not have PC/NFS or
-@c OBSOLETE something similar connecting the two systems, you must arrange some
-@c OBSOLETE other way---perhaps floppy-disk transfer---of getting the 29K program
-@c OBSOLETE from the Unix system to the PC; @value{GDBN} does @emph{not} download it over the
-@c OBSOLETE serial line.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @node gdb-EB29K
-@c OBSOLETE @subsubsection EB29K cross-debugging
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE Finally, @code{cd} to the directory containing an image of your 29K
-@c OBSOLETE program on the Unix system, and start @value{GDBN}---specifying as argument the
-@c OBSOLETE name of your 29K program:
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE cd /usr/joe/work29k
-@c OBSOLETE @value{GDBP} myfoo
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @need 500
-@c OBSOLETE Now you can use the @code{target} command:
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE target amd-eb /dev/ttya 9600 MYFOO
-@c OBSOLETE @c FIXME: test above 'target amd-eb' as spelled, with caps! caps are meant to
-@c OBSOLETE @c emphasize that this is the name as seen by DOS (since I think DOS is
-@c OBSOLETE @c single-minded about case of letters). ---doc@cygnus.com, 25feb91
-@c OBSOLETE @end smallexample
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @noindent
-@c OBSOLETE In this example, we've assumed your program is in a file called
-@c OBSOLETE @file{myfoo}. Note that the filename given as the last argument to
-@c OBSOLETE @code{target amd-eb} should be the name of the program as it appears to DOS.
-@c OBSOLETE In our example this is simply @code{MYFOO}, but in general it can include
-@c OBSOLETE a DOS path, and depending on your transfer mechanism may not resemble
-@c OBSOLETE the name on the Unix side.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE At this point, you can set any breakpoints you wish; when you are ready
-@c OBSOLETE to see your program run on the 29K board, use the @value{GDBN} command
-@c OBSOLETE @code{run}.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE To stop debugging the remote program, use the @value{GDBN} @code{detach}
-@c OBSOLETE command.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE To return control of the PC to its console, use @code{tip} or @code{cu}
-@c OBSOLETE once again, after your @value{GDBN} session has concluded, to attach to
-@c OBSOLETE @code{EBMON}. You can then type the command @code{q} to shut down
-@c OBSOLETE @code{EBMON}, returning control to the DOS command-line interpreter.
-@c OBSOLETE Type @kbd{CTTY con} to return command input to the main DOS console,
-@c OBSOLETE and type @kbd{~.} to leave @code{tip} or @code{cu}.
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE @node Remote Log
-@c OBSOLETE @subsubsection Remote log
-@c OBSOLETE @cindex @file{eb.log}, a log file for EB29K
-@c OBSOLETE @cindex log file for EB29K
-@c OBSOLETE
-@c OBSOLETE The @code{target amd-eb} command creates a file @file{eb.log} in the
-@c OBSOLETE current working directory, to help debug problems with the connection.
-@c OBSOLETE @file{eb.log} records all the output from @code{EBMON}, including echoes
-@c OBSOLETE of the commands sent to it. Running @samp{tail -f} on this file in
-@c OBSOLETE another window often helps to understand trouble with @code{EBMON}, or
-@c OBSOLETE unexpected events on the PC side of the connection.
