Answer 1

First of all I'd recommend installing the RTEMS Plugin for Eclipse

https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Eclipse/Plugin

Second: you need to know the target to provide the correct -qspec to the compiler. Options to be given to the compiler depends on which RTEMS bundle you are using.

Third: Eclipse will generate a .EXE file that can be used by both GRMON and GDB. You can also use the Eclipse debugger, that will use GDB to connect to GRMON.

Remember to set initial breakpoint to "Init" and not to main and to call GRMON with "-gdb" and WITHOUT the "-ni" option.

RTEMS simulation environment: http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/RTEMS_on_Virtualbox. This site is very good starting point to setup an RTEMS the development environment.

Shortly,install virtualbox program from https://www.virtualbox.org/, download image from http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/RTEMS_on_Virtualbox and start this image from virtualbox, the RTEMS development environment will be already installed with this image including editor, compiler, simulator etc...
