Remote serial target in GDB-specific protocol. The argument @var{dev}
specifies what serial device to use for the connection (e.g.@:
@file{/dev/ttya}). @xref{Remote, ,Remote debugging}. @code{target remote}
supports the @code{load} command. This is only useful if you have
some other way of getting the stub to the target system, and you can put
it somewhere in memory where it won't get clobbered by the download.
A remote system connected to @value{GDBN} via a serial line or network
connection. This command tells @value{GDBN} to use its own remote
protocol over @var{medium} for debugging. @xref{Remote Debugging}.
For example, if you have a board connected to @file{/dev/ttya} on the
machine running @value{GDBN}, you could say:
@smallexample
target remote /dev/ttya
@end smallexample
@code{target remote} supports the @code{load} command. This is only

system, and you can put it somewhere in memory where it won't get
