Hi Detlev, Thanks for the response. While I am still unsure of a few things, I have a workaround for the problem. If I launch gdb without specifying a binary then set the architecture and use the "add-symbol-file" command with an address to load the binary in I am able to debug.
"What exactly do you mean by "built with U-Boot"?" I misspoke. I meant the tool chain that is built with the ELDK that is used to build U-Boot. "Can you please give the pre-compiled binaries from our ELDK 4.2 and 4.1 a go?" Could you point me in the direction to find these? I didn't see them on the website or in the ppc-2008-04-01_amcc.iso that I have Nate -----Original Message----- From: Detlev Zundel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 10:46 AM To: Nate Jozwiak Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ELDK] GDB Issue Hi Nate Jozwiak, [...] > As you see, initially GDB says the target architecture is powerpc:403.
