That depends on too many things for us to guess. For instance, how
your debug interfaces work within your OS, whether you are interested
in threading, and how much OS functionality you want to make available.
I recommend reading the remote protocol documentation from the GDB
manual, to get a feeling for how much you need. You won't need all
the packets documented there, though.

Great to hear someone is working on this - I am very interested in
DSF.
