[lldb-dev] ARM AARCH64 and AARCH32 in the same debugger

[Greg Clayton]

Yes you can: you can have one target for the 32 bit ARM and one for the 64 bit one. You currently can't have one target (process) be both 32 and 64 bit, but you can do this with two targets. I am guessing you would have one target that is debugging the user space process and one for the 64 bit hypervisor routine which I am assuming is the kernel? 

This is exactly why we developed LLDB with a modular plug-in based architecture.
