gdb linux arm low.c,Cross compile gdbserver and use it in ARM linux (在ARM uClinux下编译和使用gdbserver)...

1. get and unzip src

# mkdir /usr/src/debug

# cd /usr/src/debug

# wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gdb/gdb-6.3.tar.bz2

# tar -jxvf gdb-6.3.tar.bz2

2. apply gdb patch for ARM

# cp [PATCH_PATH]/gdb-6.3-tango-20050204.patch /usr/src/debug/gdb-6.3

# patch -p1 < gdb-6.3-tango-20050204.patch

replace [PATCH_PATH] to your patch path.

use patch-gdb-5.2.1-arm7tdmi-20020920 in the reference document is another choice, it's more complexity which need modify some code before compile.

3. build gdb

# mkdir /usr/src/debug/build_gdb

# cd /usr/src/debug/build_gdb

# ../gdb-6.3/configure --target=arm-linux --host=i386-pc-linux --prefix=/opt/gdebug

# make

# make install

4. build gdbserver

# mkdir /usr/src/debug/build_gdbserver

# cd /usr/src/debug/build_gdbserver

# export PATH=[TOOLCHAIN_PATH]:$PATH

# CC=arm-elf-gcc LDFLAGS='-Wl,-elf2flt' ../gdb-6.3/gdb/gdbserver/configure --target=arm-elf-linux --host=arm-elf-linux --prefix=/opt/gdebug/arm-linux

# make

# make install

set [TOOLCHAIN_PATH] to your toolchain patch.

after build, deploy the gdbserver binary to your target filesystem.

5.use gdb and gdbserve(command line or eclipse):

examples:

host pc ip:192.168.1.45

board   ip:192.168.1.180

copy program and gdbserver to host/tftpboot/

and then in Target borad:

# mount 192.168.1.108:/tftpboot /mnt/nfs

# cd /mnt/nfs

# ./gdbserver 192.168.1.45:1234 gdbtest

In host pc：

# cd /usr/local/arm-gdb/bin/

# copy gdbtest /usr/local/arm-gdb/bin/

# ./arm-linux-gdb gdbtest

(gdb)target remote 192.168.1.180:1234

(gdb)list   or l

(gdb)break func

(gdb)break 22

(gdb)info br

(gdb)continue   or c

(gdb)next   or n

(gdb)print or p    result

(gdb) finish

(gdb) next

(gdb) quit
