Hi everybody..
As Jörg Wunsch already know I'm an avr n00b trying to start debugging on an
xmega265A3 chip :)
I've already posted in the wrong place my issues so I'm moving here what
i've discovered until now
and I'll ask a couple of more questions...
FYI here's the wrong-placed discussion
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=915939#915939
I'm trying to use GDB-avarice with a JTAG ICE mkII device and my purpose is
to have full debugging support
on the xmega265A3 chip.
What happens is that the step-over functionality is not supported here's
the reply of Jörg

The JTAG ICE's "step over" instruction can only be used the way AVR
Studio 4 uses it, by prior filling the tag memory. AVaRICE never
supported this, neither does AVR Studio 5.
So, in effect, the JTAGICE only ever sees a "step into", everything
else has to be managed by the highlevel debugger.
--------------------------
So to my understending gdb should send multiple step-into instructions to
emulate the step-over functionality...
In fact I've tried using AvrStudio5 and it seems to behave this way.
I'm asking if you have any info about gdb supporting this behavior and/or
if you have any hints on how to deal with this issue
(i.e leave everything as it is and start debugging using break-continue
combos)
Many thanks for your support
and pardon my poor English :)
