+## Connect debug mode
+
+### Introduction
+
+This mode allows Seer to a local or remote process that was started with gdbserver (or other gdb servers).
+
+Typically, the gdbserver starts the process and interrupts it before anything happens. It then waits for
+something to connect to it. When Seer connects with it, the process is ready to continue executing.
+
+
+### Requirements
+In this mode, Seer needs:
+
+* Optional symbol file if the executable doesn't have debug information
+* How to look for the gdbserver (machine and port)
+* Optional gdb commands to execute before and after Seer connects to the gdbserver.
+
+### What can you do?
+In this mode, Seer will connect to the process via the gdbserver. Typically you set breakpoints first then
+tell the process to continue. From this point, you can debug the process as normal (stepping and setting breakpoints, etc...)
+
+
+### References
+
+Check references for gdbserver and other gdb servers.
