I am currently working on porting linux to a IDT development board that has a 79RC64475 MIPS processor on it
and would like to run remote kgdb through one of the available serial ports on the board.  I downloaded the latest
version of the gdb (4.18, I believe) and looked through the gdb-stub code in the SGI/MIPS linux port.  It looks like
I should be able to debug through this setup.  My question concerns the setup of gdb on the host processor.  I set the
target architecture to mips:4600  (This closely approximates the 64475) and setup the remotedebug variable (baud,
etc.).   When I look at the processor options (i.e.,  set processor), I see the following options:

generic
r3041
r3051
r3071
r3081
lsi33k

Can I get away with using the "generic" version?  What impacts does this have on debugging?   Has anybody debugged
using kgdb on a R4xxx type of processor?  Any insights that anybody has would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
