[ECOS] How do I view the threads running in my target ?

[mohasin.zaki]

Hi eCos experts,
 
I would like to know how I can view the threads running in the target.
 
My target is x86 PC. I booted it through floppy containing the Redboot boot image.
 
I was able to connect to the target using GDB and was even able to load and run some of the sample applications.
 
But the problem I am facing here is that, when I "load" a application program and do a "continue", the currently running threads output is coming on the gdb console. I am not able to push this to the background and all the existing threads in the system.
 
I have done this in vxWorks, where I was able to view all the currently running tasks(threads) in the target, see their stack usage, suspend and resume the same.
 
How can I achieve the same in this case ?.
 
Thanks for all you help, in advance.
 
With Regards,
Mohasin

The GDB command 'info threads' will give you information about the 
current threads.  You can also select a thread and then interrogate
it separately.

Refer to the GDB documentation for full details.
