Subject: how to use hardware breakpoints/watchpoints
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 17:55:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030702175537.55186.qmail@web11406.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)


Hi,

    I am having trouble getting GDB (both 5.3 and
5.2.1) to utilize hardware breakpoints and watchpoints
(i.e., the Z packets) with my target.   I configured
for a target of powerpc-eabi and everything builds and
runs ok except for the Z packets.   

    My target stub supports Z packets.  I verified it
works by manually sending Z packets to my stub.  Using
'show remote' under GDB says that Z packet support is
dynamically detected.  So, I would assume that it
would attempt to send Z packets to do the dynamic
detection.  But when I try to use hbreak, it says the
target does not support it without even attempting to
send a Z packet to my stub.  

   My stub supports Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4 but not Z0 if that
makes any difference...   

   Is there some additional configuration that I need
to do to get GDB to use hardware breakpoint/watchpoint
support?   

Thanks,
Tom Armistead
