用arm-linux-gdb调试ARM上的应用程序

我根据arm-linux-gdb的调试对象，把调试分为二大类。即底层代码的调试，如u-boot、裸机程序等；或者应用程序的调试，即elf格式的可执行文件。根据我的经验，应用程序的调试相对要容易很多。下面，详细阐述调试经历……

 

应用篇：用arm-linux-gdb调试应用程序

开发机，即我电脑虚拟机中的ubuntu；目标机，即跑有linux系统的arm开发板。开发机和目标机通过网线连接在一个局域网内，一个网段，确保相互要ping得通。

在开发机中，通过minicom、ssh或者telnet登录开发板，要能看到开发板的文件系统。步骤如下：（ubuntu的IP是192.168.16.200， arm板的IP是192.168.16.40，两者均使用2015端口通信）

【1 打开终端，远程登录开发板】

wuxian@ubuntu:~$ ssh  root@192.168.16.40   

root@192.168.16.40's password: 123                

#                                      

 

【2 另启终端，编译elf可执行文件】

wuxian@ubuntu:~$ touch hello.c

1       #include<stdio.h>

2      

3       intmain(int argc, char *argv[])

4       {

5                for(inti=0; i<100; i++)

6                {

7                          printf("hello,world!\n");

8                }

9                return0;

11 }

wuxian@ubuntu:~$ arm-linux-gcc -g hello.c -o hello --std=c99

 

【3 拷贝文件到目标开发板】

wuxian@ubuntu:~$ scp ./hello root@192.168.16.40:/root

root@192.168.16.40's password:

hello                                         100%6200     6.1KB/s   00:00

 

【4 上目标机查看拷贝情况】

# ls

hello

# pwd

/root

#

 

【5 在目标机上打开gdbserver】准备为客户端arm-linux-gdb服务

# gdbserver 192.168.16.200:2015 hello  //192.168.16.200是开发机的ip，2015是监听端口，

Process hello created; pid = 27991      //提示信息

Listening on port 2015

 

【6 在开发机上打开arm-linux-gdb】准备调试

wuxian@ubuntu:/opt/arm/4.3.2/bin$ ./arm-linux-gdb ~/hello
