gdbserver is a GDB stub implemented as a separate program. It runs a program to be debugged
or attaches to a process and then waits for commands.
The remote GDB debugger module has been tested with gdbserver available with Cygwin
and Linux.

To debug a specific program from the start, run the following command:
gdbserver localhost:23946 <program>and then choose Debugger,Attach,<process running on target> in IDA.
To debug a running process:
gdbserver --multi localhost:23947then choose Debugger,Attach,<enter PID to attach> in IDA and enter the PID of the process to attach to.
Another method of debugging a running process is:
gdbserver localhost:23947 --attach <PID>then choose Debugger,Attach,<process running on target> in IDA.
To start a program from inside IDA, first launch the debugger server:
gdbserver --multi localhost:23947Then use Debugger,Start process or Debugger,Run in IDA.
NOTEThe --multi option is only available in GDB 6.8 or higher.
