[ECOS] Connecting to GDB stubs

[ECOS] Connecting to GDB stubs

[Joel Eriksson]

Hi,

I cannot connect to my target from gdb using GDB stubs in the target 
application. The host is a Windows machine with cygwin and my target is an 
i386 PC with GRUB startup type. I have included 
CYGDBG_HAL_DEBUG_GDB_INCLUDE_STUBS and CYGDBG_HAL_DEBUG_GDB_INITIAL_BREAK 
and when I boot my application from GRUB it stops (probably at the initial 
breakpoint). Then I try to connect using gdb, but get following errors:

$ i386-elf-gdb
GNU gdb 5.3 (eCosCentric)

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i386-elf".
(gdb) set remotebaud 38400
(gdb) target remote /dev/com1
Remote debugging using /dev/com1
Ignoring packet error, continuing...

Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Couldn't establish connection to remote target
Malformed response to offset query, timeout
(gdb)


Note, that I have no problems to upload applications with RAM startup type 
using com1 (or ethernet) so it should not be any problems with my serial 
connection.

Anyone have any ideas?
