remote debugging

[spectrum]

Dear all,

i have 2 issues trying debugging a remote embedded device:

1) remote debugging seems to work only if gdb is executed as root, C::B don't accept "su gdb" in the debugger command section, do i have to work with C::B as root ?
2) after gdb start i need to issue a specific command, as below:

(gdb) target remote | m68k-bdm-gdbserver pipe /dev/tblcf2

Where should i setup this command ?

many thanks,
Angelo
