GDB commands and GDB protocol

[Guillaume MENANT]

I've found this page : 
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb_33.html#SEC679
I still have some questions :
- We just have to handle commands from the page above to manage the GDB 
protocol (in TCP) ? The is no specific encapsulation ?
- How does Eclipse will know internal registers of my chip (registers 
like sp, pc,  ...) ? Using qXfer and a XML file ? Is it mandatory for a 
debugger to know internal registers ?
