Howto Build For x86 Host With Arm-Linux Target

How to Build For x86 Host With Arm-Linux Target?
I need to build the source code for ARM-Linux target board, I just taken the source code untar it and executed make, just to check it compiles or not.
Now Need to compile it for ARM target,
so I was using
$ ./configure --host=arm-linux-gcc --build=i686 --target=arm-linux-gcc
and
$ make
but it was not compiling for arm-linux-gcc as while compiling it compiles with gcc option and not with arm-linux-gcc

so You need to export the arm-gcc path before running ./configure.
For example:
$export CC=${arm-compiler-path}/arm-gcc
$configure --target=arm-linux
$make

Still no luck to get the arm compiled binary.
As I compiled using make initially and that time it created ./config.cache file This file is a shell script that caches the results of configure
# tests run on this system so they can be shared between configure
# scripts and configure runs.

You need to delete this file ./config.cache and run again
$./configure --host=arm-linux-gcc --build=i686 --target=arm-linux-gcc
$make

It works Enjoy.

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
