I use an Abatron BDI-2000, which connects to the target via JTAG or BDM. I can't
recommend it enough. Once you get one, and learn a few GDB commands, you'll
wonder how you ever did development without one.

Their website is http://www.abatron.ch. I don't know who distributes them in
Australia, but in the US, it's Ultimate Solutions - http://www.ultsol.com

There was a gdb script that had functions for viewing/decoding RTEMS data
structs. Maybe it's on the wiki?
