Hello! I am going to debug an embedded system running a MIPS processor, via an EJTAG probe, using GDB, so I need to know what functionality GDB needs in order to be able to do the debugging.
I have written software for communicating with the probe, enabling a communication between the computer and the MIPS processor running on the embedded system. The probe communicates with the processor via a TAP (Test Access Port) interface, and it has functions for telling the CPU to execute certain instructions (machine code), and for reading/writing from/to the CPU register. I suppose GDB needs those functions at least. But how do I set up GDB to communicate with my program? Do I have to make the program a shared library? Does GDB need any more functions for debugging? If there is any good guide teaching me how to set up GDB with the program I would be glad to know. Thanks in advance! /Kristofer Krus -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Debugging-embedded-system-with-GDB-tp18833301p18833301.html Sent from the Gnu - gdb - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
