Remote debugging in sdb

[Alphapage]

Hello,

Does sdb support remote debugging ? I can't find any info about such a feature.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Yes:

$ sdb

Type 'help' for a list of commands or 'quit' to exit

Great. Wonderful feature. Do you have an example with Ubuntu and mono app instead of xamarin monodroid. ? Which configuration do you use ?

[alexrp]

It's the same thing. Run Mono with the appropriate --debugger-agent option, e.g. --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=<ip>:<port>. Append ,server=y if you want to connect to the debuggee instead of the debuggee connecting to the debugger.

See mono --debugger-agent=help.
