11.2.2 Alternate Approach
This assumes you are running the simualtor and gdb on the same machine.

Start the simulator

Run the following automation command:
1 simnow> shell.gdb <ENTER>

Add the following to your .gdbinit file
define simnow
set architecture i386:x86-64
target remote:2222
end

Start gdb
gdb> simnow <ENTER>
11.2.3 Using Another Port on the Same Machine
The simualtor defaults to using port 2222 but can be directed to use another port.

Start the simulator

Run the following automation command:
1 simnow> shell.gdb 2233 <ENTER>

Start gdb
gdb> set architecture i386:x86-64 <ENTER>
gdb> target remote:2233 <ENTER>
11.2.4 Using Two Separate Machines

Start the simualtor on simnow-host

Run the following automation command:
1 simnow> shell.gdb <ENTER>

Start gdb on gdb-host
gdb> set architecture i386:x86-64 <ENTER>
gdb> target remote simnow-host:2222 <ENTER>
