You have two options:

1) Open a console window and type your gdb command in
2) Open File->Target Settings..., and select "Remote/Serial", enter buad 
rate, com port. Use Run menu to attach to target. That should be all you 
need.

[The Run button is a little more elaborate. In the target settings 
dialog, you can specify what the run button does by clicking "More 
options". Currently the run button will ALWAYS either "run" or 
"continue" the target.]
