You seem to be using flat binaries, not ELF, at least if you did not change anything to the stock Blackfin Makefiles for 2009R1-RC2. > BTW, the toolchain is ADI's 2009R1-RC10 (binary download), > bfin-linux-uclibc-gcc reports version 4.1.2. I have just rebuilt your exact setup, i.e. everything from a stock 2009R1-RC2 which includes Xenomai 2.4.7, with the 09r1-rc10 toolchain. So far, everything looks fine when running the testsuite. It seems that you made some changes to the kernel configuration compared to the default one, since you did activate the Xenomai debug option which is off by default (this is the one that triggers the xnshadow_relax() assertion). I would suggest to try the following, in sequence: - rebuild your full uclinux-dist stuff based on default settings, still using the Xenomai code that ships with it; I would not try to tweak anything before getting a working default system though. If that works, try to enable the Xenomai nucleus debug option and only this one, to check whether the xnshadow_relax() issue still triggers. - if the first option does not work, override the shipped Xenomai release with a stock one for testing: http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.4.7.tar.bz2 You will have to rebuild the kernel and Xenomai libs/programs aside of the standard uclinux-dist process, the following should do the trick (untested though): $ cd $uclinux-dist-root/linux-2.6.x $ ~/xenomai-stock/scripts/prepare-kernel.sh --arch=blackfin --linux=. --forcelink $ cd /tmp/somewhere $ ~/xenomai-stock/configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=blackfin-unknown-linux-gnu CC=bfin-linux-uclibc-gcc CXX=bfin-linux-uclibc-gcc AR=bfin-linux-uclibc-ar LD=bfin-linux-uclibc-ld --prefix=/usr $ make DESTDIR=$uclinux-dist-root/staging install $ cd $uclinux-dist-root && make linux image $ cp images/uImage /tftpboot/somewhere/ The Xenomai libs/programs will be produced in ELF format, not flat. I understand this may be an issue for some users, but this is how the Xenomai project tests them anyway. In any case, you may want to check whether building for ELF without converting to FLT makes a difference with your GDB issue. PS: looking at the toolchain code (09r1-rc10), the mcount bug is still there in the gcc config frag for blackfin, so don't even bother trying ftrace or the I-pipe tracer; they would break your kernel during early boot up. > > Kolja > -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
