"insight" is part of gdb. If you have checked out the "insight" module
from the CVS repository, you have everything you need. Simply build "gdb"
and you will get a version of gdb/insight which will have both the command
line and the gui. By default, running "gdb" will run "insight", the gui.
Running "gdb -nw" will run without the gui.

It depends on what your board is set up to do. If it has a gdb stub on it,
you can use the "remote/serial" or "remote/tcp" targets. This is an
arm board? (Or am I thinking of another post?) If so, you will have to use
either RDI or RDP, depending on what monitor your board supports. If you
use ARM MultiICE, you're in trouble. ARM has not released code under GPL
which is necesary to use our version of gdb with the MultiICE. Sorry.
