Nios2 gdb and Linux

--- Quote Start ---

I've been developing Nios2 on Linux with success for some time and now I am trying to use gdb with no success.

I've attempted the published gdb examples - with no success - and one general question persists - is the gdb stub automatically built-into

my design? I'm running from the bash command line and using the provided scripts in my makefile. I added the '--debug' option to 'nios2-app-generate-makefile'

with no success. So, I am wondering if this makefile option is necessary to use gdb? Or does the 'nios2-app-generate-makefile' default to include a gdb stub in

the build and you'd have to explicitly remove debug support.

Does anyone know if a basic Nios2 C project has gdb support by default?
