[ECOS] About h8000 eCos GDB-Stub

["m mariga" <ma_ariga@yahoo.co.jp>]

Hello,

I am still struggling to resolve why not breaking at cyg_start in Insight.
As I am further involved,the problem's aspect became more about eCos's h8000 
GDB-Stub,
so let me change my Mailing list subject title from "How to set GDB Stub 
Options in order to run insight ?" to "About h8000 eCos GDB-Stub".

First I re-state my problem.
I am working on eCos 3.0 using Akizuki H8/3068 Network board.
That board's CPU is H8/3069F.
I succeeded to install FreeBSD stack and ran TCP/IP test programs.
But when I tried to use Insight or GDB,it does not stop at cyg_start 
breaking point.

I start up Insight like next line.
$ h8300-elf-insight.exe nc_test_slave.elf

At this point it should stop at break point(=cyg_start),but it never reply 
nothing.

I perused remote-5.log and learned GDB-Stub does not operate properly..

When GDB send $Z0, GDB-Stub should replace address's code with TRAP,but in 
case of h8000 GDB-Stub does nothing.
So GDB try to replace address's code by $X411dda,2:\x01\x80.
But \x01\x80 is never H8's undefined codes but Sleep Command,so CPU sleeps 
at top of cyg_start and never stops.

I studied \ecos-3.0\packages\hal\common\v3_0\src\generic-stub.c,and found 
__process_packet() function looked likely place.
It's 1494-1566 lines read,
#if defined(CYGNUM_HAL_BREAKPOINT_LIST_SIZE) && 
(CYGNUM_HAL_BREAKPOINT_LIST_SIZE > 0)
    case 'Z':
      is_Z = 1;
    case 'z':
      {
 char *ptr = &packet[1];
 target_register_t ztype, addr, length;

There was no CYGNUM_HAL_BREAKPOINT_LIST_SIZE option in h8000 cdl file.
I tentatively commented out defined(CYGNUM_HAL_BREAKPOINT_LIST_SIZE) line 
and ran,but there was no change in GDB command's log.
Apparantly there are something missing.Would you please teach me the best 
way to insert $Z0 operation in h8000 GDB-Stub ?

Also,although I inserted diag_printf() in __process_packet function, nothing 
appeared on console window.
I do not know why diag_printf() did nothing,or am I looking wrong place at 
all ?
Please teach me how to trace codes in generic-stub.c. Are there any way to 
display on Insight console window ?

Thank you in advance.
