Easy debug with GDB, step by step.
Debug process: system_monitor
Debug platform: Riogrande, Lotus
1. Build lotus eng or debug version
1) Remove the followings in device/semc/riogrande/files/init.riogrande.rc
# SEMC System monitor
#service system_monitor /system/bin/system_monitor
# user root
2) For not running system_monitor as service
2. Flash the sins into mobile phone
3. Setup GDB environment
1) sudo apt-get install semc-gdb-arm semc-python-gdb
2) https://wiki.sonyericsson.net/androiki/GDB_debugging
3) https://wiki.sonyericsson.net/mib/GDB_Tool_Course
4. Open two terminal windows, one for gdbclient, another for gdbserver
5. In one terminal window for gdbserver
1) $adb remount
2) $adb push gdbserver73 /system/bin/gdbserver //gdbserver73 is the enclosure.
3) $adb shell
4) #chmod 777 /system/bin/gdbserver
5) # gdbserver :5039 /system/bin/system_monitor
Show the following infomation
Process /system/bin/system_monitor created; pid = 2678
Listening on port 5039
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1 //later show the information after gdbclient runs
6. In another terminal window for gdbclient
1) Firstly, enter the root directory of edream6.0-riogrande-xxx source code
For example: xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$
2) xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$. build/envsetup.sh
3) xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$lunch lotus-eng or lunch lotus-userdebug
4) xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$adb forward tcp:5039 tcp:5039
5) xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$setpaths
6) xx@xx: /…./edream6.0-riogrande-plus-release$ gdbclient system_monitor
Show the following information:
If you haven't done so already, do this first on the device:
gdbserver :5039 /system/bin/system_monitor
or
gdbserver :5039 --attach

47) Test over
7. Conclusion
1) GDB can debug process in user space, step by step.
2) It is not always stable, special for commands step into function, next over function. It is easy to happen error. I don’t know why?
3) But we can set more breakpoints and use command “continue”, it seems not to happen error.
4) Anyway, you can get help of how to use gdb commands by “(gdb)help command”, such as “(gdb)help info”
8. Question
1) What’s your comments about errors often happen in the debug process?
2) Is there another more advantage tool for debug program in user side?
