Thanks Andy, 
I think this will be really useful to a lot of people.

But, although I downloaded your bzip'ed tool package 
w. the correct bytecount (20,736,466 bytes - puh!), 
'bunzip2' fails to open it 
(says something like: "incorrect magic number, not a bzip2 archive ...").

'bzip2recover' managed to pull out some few *.tar.bz2 files from the
archive, 
before it too failed. Trying to decompress them, yielded defect .tar-files.

Any ideas?

Platform etc:
-------------
- NT4.0 (SP6)
- bzip2/bunzip2 V0.9.0b (as supplied w. Cygwin B20.1)

PS: could you upload in plain ZIP format as well?
(the compressed ZIP archive of the EB01 library ++ 
 were uncompressed without any fuzz at all ...).
Choose whatever you like - .zip/.gz/.tgz etc,etc.

Morten,

    If you visit my Web Site at http://www.ahare.btinternet.co.uk you will
find my versions of the ATMEL AT91 library converted to using the GNU
Toolset. You will also find a copy of the toolset binaries that I am using
under NT. All these are in the download section

RE: configuring for arm-elf-gdb

[morten.larsen]

Hi,

as I am fairly new to (cross)GCC and GDB/Insight (using ARM's SDT
previously), 
I wonder if you have examples of the following:

1) Makefile for build&install of the board support routines supplied by
Atmel 
(unless you use your own ...)

2) Linker script for linking the support library (from 1)) w. user program.

Even a fragment or skeleton of any of these would help ...
(besides, can GCC be instructed to generate Thumb-specific code?)

-Thanks

Hi

    I have been building Insight-GDB under cygnus b20.1 under NT. Below is
the following rules extracted from a makefile that I use to build all the
GNU toolset.

.PHONY: config-insight
config-insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 rm * -r ; \
 /c/cygnus/GNU-Source-Code/insight/configure -v \
  --prefix=/c/cygnus/xgcc-arm/insight \
  --exec-prefix=/c/cygnus/xgcc-arm/insight \
  --host=i586-cygwin32 --target=arm-elf >configure.out

.PHONY: clean-insight
clean-insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 make clean

.PHONY: insight
insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 make -w all install LIBGCC2_DEBUG_CFLAGS="-g1 -O1"  LANGUAGES="c c++" >
make.out 2>&1

These allow me to configure and build the Insight system, I have been using
it both in the simulator mode and to connect to the ATMEL EB01 eval. board.

Fernando,

Yes, I have opened the console window using the "view" pull down menu.  I get info
about the loading process, but no printf output.  Does your installation put printf
output on the console window?  If so, what OS and insight version are you using?

Thanks

Do you have the "Console" window from Insight (not the one from where
you started gdb) open?

Re: configuring for arm-elf-gdb

[Louis LeGrand]

Andy and others,

Thanks for responding to my question.

Since my last message, I have sucessfuly built and installed arm-elf-gdb.  It
seems to work perfectly when run in the non-GUI mode (i.e. using the -nw
option).  However, when I run it in the GUI mode, the printf's output does not
show up anywhere.  I am using Redhat 6.1 not NT.  Do you have this problem?
The January 10, 2000 message from Kai Ruottu alludes to similar output issues.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if not seeing output is a known
"feature" of the code.

Thanks again,
L3

Re: configuring for arm-elf-gdb

[Andy Hare]

Hi

    I have been building Insight-GDB under cygnus b20.1 under NT. Below is
the following rules extracted from a makefile that I use to build all the
GNU toolset.

.PHONY: config-insight
config-insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 rm * -r ; \
 /c/cygnus/GNU-Source-Code/insight/configure -v \
  --prefix=/c/cygnus/xgcc-arm/insight \
  --exec-prefix=/c/cygnus/xgcc-arm/insight \
  --host=i586-cygwin32 --target=arm-elf >configure.out

.PHONY: clean-insight
clean-insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 make clean

.PHONY: insight
insight:
 cd /c/cygnus/build/insight ; \
 make -w all install LIBGCC2_DEBUG_CFLAGS="-g1 -O1"  LANGUAGES="c c++" >
make.out 2>&1

These allow me to configure and build the Insight system, I have been using
it both in the simulator mode and to connect to the ATMEL EB01 eval. board.

configuring for arm-elf-gdb

[javelina]

Greetings,

I am an ecos user and I would like to use the insight package to do GUI
remote debugging on an ARM evaluation board.  Looking at the mailing
list archive, it appears that others have done this, but it is not clear
to me what the steps are to build "arm-elf-gdb" instead of "gdb".

Thanks,
