I am trying to debug u-boot using arm-elf-gdb on the PDK board. I have been succesfully using this gdb to a great extent. However, when i try my vanilla u-boot image with debug, i get a "segfault".
Then your GDB is obviously broken.
Could it be something wrong with the uboot binary itslef. If so, any hints as to what could be wrong?
NHo. No matter what could be wrong in the debugged proragm - this must never cause the debugger to crash. You may see all kinds of more or less friendly error messages, but never a crash.
I have been using theis arm-elf-gdb sucessfully with Redboot in the past.
If this GDB crahes, then it's obviously broken.
Did you try the GDB that comes with ELDK for comparison?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
