[ECOS] RedBoot Porting: GDB stubs Problem

[ECOS] RedBoot Porting: GDB stubs Problem

[Subodh Kotkar]

Hello all


I am porting RedBoot on PXA processor..
It gives me some GDB stubs after loading, on serial console
so i tried debugging by placing some diag_printf() statement. here is
the some code of my main.c file:


  bist();
	diag_printf("5:After power on self test");							//no 5
#ifdef CYGOPT_REDBOOT_FIS_ZLIB_COMMON_BUFFER
    fis_zlib_common_buffer =
    workspace_end -= CYGNUM_REDBOOT_FIS_ZLIB_COMMON_BUFFER_SIZE;
	diag_printf("5AA::In side #IFDEF");									//5AA
#endif
	diag_printf("____5BB::OUT side #IFDEF");							//5BB
    for (init_entry = __RedBoot_INIT_TAB__; init_entry !=
&__RedBoot_INIT_TAB_END__;  init_entry++) {
		diag_printf("____5CCDD::In side FOR LOOP1");					//5CCDD
        (*init_entry->fun)();
	diag_printf("5CC::In side FOR LOOP2");								//5CC
    }
	diag_printf("6:After init entry function");							//no 6
    user_ram_start = workspace_start;
    user_ram_end = workspace_end;

    do_version(0,0);


In above code it reaches upto
diag_printf("____5CCDD::In side FOR LOOP1");
but it never call
(*init_entry->fun)();      function.
I am not getting what is Happeninig in that function...?
please help me..
THXs

That line is calling various RedBoot initialization functions.
My guess would be that one of them [the first one?] is failing.

Try printing the value of the entry point, then you can look
up the address in your image and find out where to debug next.
   diag_printf("Calling %p\n", init_entry->fun);
