Yes I have written one as part of my Masters Thesis under Noel Anderson
at North Dakota State University. The remote.c module I wrote is for
GDB version 3.5. I have not looked at GDB 4.0 yet to see how much would need
to be changed. Hardware limited access methods to the HP 9000/319 to a serial
port or the ether net. My implementation uses the serial port and an
external translator to convert rs232 GDB style packets (that contain 68332
BDM commands) into the serial stream for the 68332. The implementation is
nice because only 4 bytes of memory on the 68332 are required to support
GDB debugging!
