[PATCH] gdb/MicroBlaze: Add support for native linux gdb
Gopi Kumar Bulusu proposes a patch to add native Linux support for GDB (GNU Debugger) for the MicroBlaze architecture. This includes core target support and enables commonly used debugger functions such as breakpoints, stepping, and printing. The patch is based on sources from the Xilinx/AMD Yocto git repository and has been tested on a Linux instance running on QEMU.
