[lldb-dev] Preferred protocol for remote debugging backend implementation

[Greg Clayton]

debugserver uses an extended version of the GDB remote protocol. All extension packets are described in a file that is checked into the SVN repository:

svn cat http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt

Let me know if you have any questions.
