[ECOS] Problems with run tests on a i386 platform

[ECOS] Problems with run tests on a i386 platform

[Hansjörg Petriffer]

I'm not sure if I make something wrong.
I have made the following steps:

-i386pc platform    packeges stub
-build library
-bash-2.04$ dd conv=sync if=gdb_module.bin of=/dev/fd0
33+1 records in
34+0 records out
-Made a new project (i386-default) Run tests (compiling is without errors)
-run tests into the configuration tool


Now I receive the following messages:

It seems for me that something goes wrong with the serial comunication,
because it makes no difference if the remote is running. I'm also not sure
if the remote i386 Pc is working. If I use the floppy that I have made than
I see on the upper left corner the following message:

++$T0508:dc370000;04:e00f0000;#4b

Is this okay?

As serial cable I use a Simple null modem without handshaking. Is this
correct?

Thanks for any hint!

This is your problem. Try a snapshot version of GDB and see if that helps.
