    Bear in mind that for school projects the most we can do is point a direction, which darkrose0510 did. In any case, you should have been able to find that or similar links on your own, IMO. Anyway, good luck with your project. You have a lot of work ahead of you.

    There are few frontend tools available for GDB , my favorite is Nemiver - A GNOME C/C++ Debugger

    Good Luck with your project!!!

    If you want to write your own debugger, you should also look into the ptrace() function. It is used by gdb, and is essentially designed for debuggers. Check the man page for more info on how to use it.

    You could, for reference, look into the AMD/Intel manuals and see what debugging features these chips offer.
