psim network gdb patch with RTEMS 4.10

Thu Nov 11 21:45:28 UTC 2010

Greetings,

I am working from the RTEMS 4.10 branch.
I would like to run gdb-PSIM with network support.
I found the psim/network/README and I found out that the gdb-6.8 has a network patch.
I built and installed that .
When I run I get a message "attempt to attach unknown device ethtap" ...

I have dumped the generated device file  it seems to have the right info (i.e. ethtap stuff)
I am not quite clear on how the device file is generated an used.

Any hints as to how I proceed from here?

Thanks

# NOTE 'ethtap' currently (200902) requires psim to
#      be patched -- also, it is only supported on
#      a linux host.
#      the 'ethtap' device transfers data from/to the
#      simulated network interface to/from a 'ethertap'
#      interface on the linux host (consult tun/tap
#      device documentation).
#      A very useful tool is 'tunctl' which allows for
#      configuring user-accessible, persistent 'tap'
#      devices so that psim may be executed w/o special
#      (root) privileges.
