一開始執行 GDB/ARMulator 時，指定 kernel 做為執行檔：
# /usr/local/bin/arm-elf-gdb linux.2.0.x
GNU gdb 5.0

There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details.
This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-elf"...
(no debugging symbols found)...
注意！GDB/ARMulator 是 GDB 加上 ARMulator patch 後的特殊版本，必須自行由 GDB 原始碼製作。
進入 gdb 命令模式後，在 gdb 命令模式下輸入 target sim 命令：
(gdb) target sim
Loaded ROM boot.rom
Loaded ROM boot.rom
Loaded ROM boot.rom
Loaded ROM boot.rom
Connected to the simulator.
指定 taget 端為 ARM simulator。此時 GDB 會載入 boot.rom 做為 root filesystem，因此請將 root filesystem的檔案名稱修改為 boot.rom（或建立link）。接著再輸入 load 命令載入kernel：
(gdb) load
Loading section .text, size 0x77b84 vma 0x2000000
Loading section .rodata, size 0x8ddb vma 0x2077b84
Loading section .data, size 0x8fc8 vma 0x2080a60
Start address 0x2000000
Transfer rate: 4507960 bits/sec.
由 GDB 的訊息可以看出，uClinux for GDB/ARMulator 的 .text 節區起始位址為 0x20000000，此位址會因為硬體平臺的不同而不同。uCliinux-dist 已經幫我們設定好許多平臺的起始位址參數，因此使用 uClinux-dist 時就不必自己手動重設節區位址。
輸入run命令開機：
(gdb) run
執行結果：
