Here's an example board using SSH with public key auth and no
passphrase.  RSH is similar.

# gdbserver running over ssh.

load_generic_config "gdbserver";

process_multilib_options "";

# The default compiler for this target.
#set_board_info compiler  "[find_gcc]";

set_board_info compiler  "/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/7xx/bin/ppc_7xx-gcc";
set_board_info c++compiler  "/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/7xx/bin/ppc_7xx-g++";

set_board_info rsh_prog /usr/bin/ssh
set_board_info rcp_prog /usr/bin/scp
set_board_info protocol standard
set_board_info hostname voltaire.debian.org
set_board_info username dan
set_board_info gdb_server_prog /home/dan/gdb/mv/obj/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver

# We will be using the standard GDB remote protocol
set_board_info gdb_protocol "remote"

# Name of the computer whose socket will be used, if required.
set_board_info sockethost "voltaire.debian.org:"

# Port ID to use for socket connection
# set_board_info gdb,socketport "4004"

# Use techniques appropriate to a stub
set_board_info use_gdb_stub 1;

# This gdbserver can only run a process once per session.
set_board_info gdb,do_reload_on_run 1;

# There's no support for argument-passing (yet).
set_board_info noargs 1

# Can't do input (or output) in the current gdbserver.
set_board_info gdb,noinferiorio 1

# Can't do hardware watchpoints, in general
set_board_info gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints 1;

global board_info 
set board_info(voltaire.debian.org,rsh_prog) /usr/bin/ssh
set board_info(voltaire.debian.org,rcp_prog) /usr/bin/scp
