-This document introduces ROCgdb, the AMD ROCm debugger for Linux targets.
+`ROCgdb <https://github.com/ROCm/ROCgdb>`_ is the AMD ROCm debugger for Linux targets.
 
 ROCgdb is an extension to GDB, the GNU Project debugger. The tool provides developers

 the host code, and additional features have been provided to support debugging ROCm
 device code.
