Remote debugging development in CDT [message #59426] Wed, 22 January 2003 16:51 Go to next message

Our company is very much interested in remote debugging in Eclipse/CDT
(cygwin, mips-elf-gdb). Now it is possible to remotely debug using gdb.ini
file, in which target parameters are specified.

We would like to have additional menu in Eclipse for specifying target
settings, similar to one in Insight (Remote/Serial, Baudrate, Port;
Remote/TCP, Hostname, Port). Not so important but also useful would be
download bar (indicates progress of downloading code to remote target).
Also we would like to have another field to add additional breakpoints.

We are ready to make these changes ourselves. But we would like to know if
somebody has already done it, just didn't release it jet.

Also if these changes are already planned in CDT, do you have any idea
when will it be released.

Best Regards

Goran Pantar

What do you mean by 'additional breakpoints'?

I have been asking similar questions on the cdt-debug-dev mailing list.
Perhaps you want to have a look at this
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg00174. html
thread.

To summarise due to very agresive timescales support for cross development
is not planned at the moment. There are however fine people willing to
help someone who wanted to start such work.

I am considering looking at this but only have a few hours a week
spare time to work on it (and need to fix a broken gdb for my platform
first!). By the sound of it you are only interested in supporting the
default GDB remote protocol, my interests lie slightly outside this but
I'll happily try extend any work you put in instead of doing it all myself
;-)

Cheers

Daniel

Sorry, my mistake here. I meant like in Insight where you can add function
name in field before starting to debug. But now I see that I can add
breakpoints in editor window.

How do I specify to use the m68k-palmos-gdb version of gdb with the new
remote target support?

For using mips-elf-gdb I had to add string "mips" to file
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core_1.0.1/plugin.x ml in cpu
attribute. Maybe you have to add something like "palmos".
You can also see:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg00174. html
on cdt-debug-dev list.

Hi,

I try to use the CDT debugger with gdb for ARM (arm-elf-gdb.exe),
so I was kindly recommended to read this thread. Some suggestions
on this thread solved my problems, i.e. CDT accepts arm-elf-gdb.exe
and it launches it as well.

Furthermore, I have written a small gdb config file that contains
only "target sim" to connect the ARM simulator. (without this,
the CDT debugger says it cannot start and recommend me to read
"target help", but with this configuration this problem is gone)

Unfortunately, the GDB debugger doesn't seem to connect well,
as the progress bar continues while "loading local C program"
until the gdb/mi timomeut expires and nothing else happens.

What are your experience from this? Did you make the debugger
actually connect to and work well with an embedded CPU gdb?

Any suggestions most welcome!

Kind regards,
Johan
