reset board automatically

reset board automatically

[Jose Paul]

Hi All,

If we kill the GDB by windows kill command when it is connected to remote
Board
the remote board doesn't reset and wait for new connection.

Is it possible to implement this in eCOS so that when the board loses it
connection
with the GDB running in the PC it should reset itself and wait for new
connection?
This will avoid manual reset.
I am using mipsel-elf-gdb.


Please let me know.

Thanks in Advance,
Jose

No, because you killed the program that would tell it to do that! Don't 
use windows kill with GDB.

Over serial, no. Over TCP maybe but you'd need to implement it. But why 
not use the GDB kill command (not windows kill). As long as your program 
hasn't fiddled with too much hardware that may be enough. Maybe.
