Hi Matthew,
This link seems to give some details:
http://davis.lbl.gov/Manuals/GDB/gdb_31.html
cycle step *(draft)* |i|addr|,|nnn Step the remote target by a single
clock cycle. If |,|nnn is present, cycle step nnn cycles. If addr is
present, cycle step starting at that address.
Where as:
step |s|addr addr is address to resume. If addr is omitted, resume at
same address.
I believe that step should execute one whole machine instruction or one
instruction packet depending on the architecture. The S command should
step into call instructions, not over. Stepping over anything is a task
for the debugger, and is managed by coordinating breakpoints, stepping
and continuing.
I cant imagine the 'i' command is commonly supported however since I
presume it would require very complex and tight coupling between the
processor running the stub and the processor being debugged as the clock
is not typical accessible. For regular source level debugging this
level of control is not typical required.
Thanks,
Aidan

Sorry, I should have been more direct in this post...
Does anyone actually know the difference in the GDB-RSP i and s commands?
I'd welcome your insight.
thanks

Hi Folks,
I'm poring over the gdb pdf trying to understand the difference
between the s and i commands.
After chatting with a colleague we came up with 2 ideas:
1. i means a single instruction step, and s is an instruction step
but step over CALL instructions.
OR
2. i means advance the clock once, i.e. by a single word in a
multi-word instruction. And s means a single instruction step.
All comments welcome!
thanks
