Well if I understand I should compile rtems-gdb and I could easily debug source-level ?

What are the benefits to use OpenOCD instead of GDB ?
Regarding libdebugger I found your previous thread https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2016-November/016430.html
What is this library for ? How is it used ?
 
 
Thanks for your answers,
