<p>The GDB Hardware Debugging feature provides a specialized debug launch configuration
that allows you to start up GDB using CDT's GDB integration in a specialized manner that
allows for sessions that connect to hardware debugging devices, such as JTAG and BDM,
that support an integration with GDB. In particular it allows you to specify commands that
are executed when GDB connects to the device, optionally specify an image to load onto the
target, and specify commands that set up the target for execution.</p>
