Failed to stop at given points in arm gdb

[prasadam kumar]

Hi,

 

I have cross compiled the gdb-6.3 with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc and cross compiler has gcc version 4.1.1.

 

While cross compiling the gdb-6.3,  i have faced the tui problem, to overcome this i have disabled tui (--disable-tui), after this it has compiled successfully.

 

I have done the below steps to cross compile the sample.c :

 

# arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -g sample.c -o sample

# file sample

sample: ELF-32 bit LSB executable, ARM,version1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.14, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

 

I have copied the cross compiled gdb.exe, sample.c, sample.exe(arm executable ), libncurses.so.5 and libthread_db.so.1 on to arm target.

 

Then i have done the below steps to debug the sanple.exe:

 

# ./gdb sample

(gdb) list

 

1 #include<stdio.h>

2 main()

3 {

4 int i;

5 i=10;

6 fprintf(stdout," \n print:%i", i);

7 i=20; 

8 fprintf(stdout," \n print:%i", i);

9 return 0;

10 }

(gdb) break main

Breakpoint 1 at 0x8388:file sample.c, line 5.

(gdb) break 7

Breakpoint 2 at 0x83a8:file sample.c, line 7.

(gdb) run

Starting program:/sample

 

Program exited normally

 

Please help to solve the below problems:

 

1.I am not able to run any arm exe with arm-gdb.

2.arm-gdb (cross compiled gdb) is not able to stop at the given break points.

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Prashant.
