Hello ,
Now we have some problems in using kgdb to debug the Linux-mips kernel on IDT 79s334A board.
1.I enabled the kernel startup option kgdb=on to debug the kernel setup.
At first, the gdb on host pc connected to the target boards correctly.
Then I use a few "n"(Next) command to debug the kernel, but the kernel
seems
to run out of my hands, as if I had executed some "c" command.
I use "set debug remote 1" command to see the packets gdb send&receive:
and find :
the gdb send a "c" packet to the stub at the end of packet sequence.
I guess that the gdb on the host pc send some wrong command , or it can't
get right info
to debug?
2.I want to debug some init_module function in module , like this :
int init_module(void)
{
breakpoint(); // use the breakpoint function in kernel to get a break.
my_functions();
}
When I insmod this module, it through exception 9 (breakpoint), then I run
"bt"
command in gdb, but this time gdb report "can't find the start of function
0x....".
Is this a gdb problem or gdb stub problem? BTW, when I first bootup the
kernel
and connect the gdb&stub ,the sample problem happened.
