[beagleboard] recommendation for a symbolic debugger

2017-07-26 Thread clarkbriggs101
I really need to have a symbolic interface to gdb running on my BBBs. Here is my situation. I keep build copies of the software on the BBB and compile them on the BBB. I edit them on my PC, keeping the masters in a local repo. I manually move them over after editing to compile them on the BBB. I

Are you debugging user space app or kernel code like drivers, kernel modules, etc? If you are debugging user space app, you have two solutions: 1) use gdbserver on your BBB and Code Composer Studio (CCSV7) or Eclipse on your host, which uses gdb for debugging. You will need your BBB source code

John, Thanks a lot. I am debugging a user space app. I guess I didn't realize I could use Eclipse on my host and debug on the target without the binaries on the host. I do have the sources on my host anyway. I have never heard of CCSV7 but a quick look at http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio is attra

William etal, Pointing to Molloy was a good hint. I watched him do it and around minute 31 he starts into remote debugging. He uses Eclipse and some cross tool chain, but I didn't watch that. I am using the TI CCS v7.2 on Windows 7x64 which is Eclipse based, but not cross compiling with their in

You need arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb and it needs to be the same as your compiler version used to build your executable. Regards, John > On Aug 1, 2017, at 1:44 PM, clarkbriggs...@gmail.com wrote: > > William etal, > Pointing to Molloy was a good hint. I watched him do it and around minute 31

John, Thanks. It does sound like you know the TI CCS stuff. While the TI market place exposed several high level products, I can't figure out how to drill down to the compiler. In particular, I think I installed for the AM33xx BBB processor when I first put CCS in, but can't find any trace of th

I haven’t used CCS for several years as I use Lauterbach for all my linux kernel/driver debugging. However, I’ll try to remember how to everything you need. See inline comments: Regards, John > On Aug 5, 2017, at 9:44 AM, clarkbriggs...@gmail.com wrote: > > John, > Thanks. It does sound li
