For Ubuntu hosts from 12.04 onwards, gdb-multiarch is used as gdb client for debugging. As name indicates it is a common client to any architecture and not restricted to ARM.

Generally, all gdb clients are architecture independent because architecture specific part is handled in gdbserver itself. So, other than the name arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb, I am guessing it is same as gdb-multiarch.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm trying to perform cross platform remote debugging from my x86 computer to a remote ARM device. (ex: Beagle Bone Black)

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and Eclipse CDT.

I installed the Ubuntu package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf but the gdb debugger is not in that package.

Therefore, I'm wondering if I should use the Linaro toolchain (which include arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb) or if I should install the Ubuntu gdb-multiarch package.

What is the difference between gdb-multiarch and arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb ? Is it better to use gdb-multiarch ?

Thanks
