Linaro arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb versus Ubuntu gdb-multiarch

Hello,

I'm trying to perform cross platform remote debugging from my x86 computer to a remote ARM device. (ex: Beagle Bone Black)

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and Eclipse CDT.

I installed the Ubuntu package gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf but the gdb debugger is not in that package.

Therefore, I'm wondering if I should use the Linaro toolchain (which include arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb) or if I should install the Ubuntu gdb-multiarch package.

What is the difference between gdb-multiarch and arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb ? Is it better to use gdb-multiarch ?

Thanks ssinfod
