6502 hardware and debug options, gdbserver and Fuzix?

[hth313]

I am implementing a C compiler for 6502 and would like to try the results out on real hardware.

Is W65C134SXB a good choice for hardware? Price not too high and with 32K or RAM and 32K mapped in flash it should be capable enough.

For debugging I have something similar to gdb that I want to connect remotely to the target. For gdb remote debugging gdbsever is used, is it available for 6502? I looked in the gdb source tree and it seems to be just for 16 and 32-bit targets. What do people use for 8-bits target? I suspect the usual monitors included on 6502 boards are meant for interaction with a human, not a debugger?

On my search around I came across SC126 which is a nice Z80 system, it can run CP/M or Fuzix. Is there some similar 6502 hardware around? I am thinking of something capable of running Fuzix.

There isn't a standard for 6502 based systems like there is with CP/M. But you'll see 65C02 SBC's on eBay and forum members occasionally sell their versions of popular boards (e.g. Daryl Rictor SBC).

If you want to stay close to FUZIX development, it looks to me like the RC2014 system, with a 6502 processor, would be a good choice. Although it's by no means Alan's primary target.
