 === Debugging with gdb ===
-Follows soon...
+If you want to debug your hardware more comfortable you are able to use gdb.
+You should use the gdb provided by your Toolchain. For example mipsel-none-elf-gdb for a MIPS architecture.
+<code>
+mipsel-none-elf-gdb main.elf
+</code>
+Connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
+<code>
+(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
+</code>
+Send commands to gdbserver using the monitor command
+<code>
+(gdb) monitor reset halt
+</code>
+Now the hardware performs a reset and halts directly. You can use gdb as normal:
+You can list the source code:
+<code>
+(gdb) list
+</code>
+Set breakpoints (e.g. at line 27)
+<code>
+(gdb) br 27
+</code>
+Run the program until the next breakpoint occurs.
+<code>
+(gdb) continue
+</code>
+Walk step by step through your source code
+<code>
+(gdb) next
+</code>
+or print variable content
+<code>
+(gdb) print [var]
+</code>
