Although most of the time the target Flash is pretty restrictive, I usually have a separate, full fledged target filesystem with GDB et al, mounted over NFS. And when you have a filesystem with all the tools you need, you development time comes down unbelievably. My second preference would be to use gdb-server on the target and gdb itself on a less restrictive host. Regards, -- Shuveb Hussain B I N A R Y K A R M A Chennai, India.

Thanks for the insight. I have identified and protected a race
condition. Since I am running it on a 8 MB flash system couldnt afford
gdb for it.
Thanks

Forget "strace". I have come across programs/device drivers that will stop
working once you remove print{f|k}s added for debugging! Various delays can
make a program work well. Is your program using a device driver you know
might be faulty? Try GDB, my friend.

When you run the app with strace, some of critical point never occure, due to the strace overhead/delay. Use core-dump or print to figure out the crash point and check for the logical errors.

[Ilugc] Effect of strace
Dear Luggies, I am wondered whether running a application with strace will make it behave differently. My application on a ARM target board crashed consistently. The odd thing was the log file also disappears during the mishap. So I started the application with strace and captured the output using a serial output. But now the application which was frequently crashing without strace , is not crashing. No change was there in the environment and the code. Does strace affects the way?
