On target: with a BDM wiggler.

On host: using the simulator. But the most low-level code is not used in the
simulator.

The Rockbox simulator simulates a bunch of low-level APIs and offers the
Rockbox LCD in a window. If you have a debugger (gdb) you can indeed
single-step and do everything else a debugger can do.

The simulator is not run "from a compiler", it is built by a compiler and run
just like any other native app on your machine.
