Intel® IDB supports debugging of applications running on remote machines under gdbserver control on IA-32 processors.
If an application you need to debug is not on the same machine that you are working on, use a special remote agent, gdbserver, on the target machine, and IDB on the host machine. It is important that you use the same binaries on the target and host machines, but on the target machine you can use stripped bits.
The gdbserver utility is a part of the GNU* debugger, GDB*. If you do not have the gdbserver installed, you need to install it.
GDB and gdbserver communicate using a Remote Serial Line protocol. IDB and gdbserver can be connected via TCP/IP connection.
