Use the special gdb command `device port' if you
need to explicitly set the serial device. The default port is the
first available port on your host. This is only necessary on Unix
hosts, where it is typically something like `/dev/ttya'.
gdb has another special command to set the communications
speed: `speed bps'. This command also is only used from Unix
hosts; on DOS hosts, set the line speed as usual from outside GDB with
the DOS mode command (for instance, `mode
com2:9600,n,8,1,p' for a 9600 bps connection).
The `device' and `speed' commands are available only when you
use a Unix host to debug your Hitachi microprocessor programs. If you
use a DOS host,
GDB depends on an auxiliary terminate-and-stay-resident program
called asynctsr to communicate with the development board
through a PC serial port. You must also use the DOS mode command
to set up the serial port on the DOS side.
