Drivers can't be debugged with gdb. Here kgdb needs to be used, but AFAIK, most developers don't use a debugger with this stuff, but just log file output.

AFAIK, technically, it is possible to use KGDB with a serial interface to debug Kernel drivers and configure eclipse to remote-control KGDB, but I am not aware of anybody doing this.

It might be possible to run the komplete system (Kernel and applications) with nios2-ide but I don't know if this makes much sense. Maybe someone who tried it might jump in here.
