How to use "Command to issue after attaching"

How to use "Command to issue after attaching"

[Cliff]

Hi, all:

I'm using arm-elf-insight with ocdlibremote, and I want to send some commands to ocdlibremote after attaching it.

I put them in .gdbinit file and it really executes, but when I push the "run" button, insight try to detach and re-attach the target, so my settings are all lost.

I want to write some registers into the target CPU(S3C44BOX) so that I can use it's SDRAM without initialize by the user program.

It is a serial of commands like
monitor long 0x01c80000 = 0x11111002
monitor long 0x01c80004 = 0x0600
monitor long 0x01c80008 = 0x7ffc
.....

Then I try the "Command to issue after attaching" in the Target Selection dialog, but it seems only one command to issue. How can I run more than one command after attaching the target?

Cliff;

Do not use the "run" command when debugging a remote target,
use the "continue" command.

Is your target set to use "continue" instad of "run"? Check the "More
Options" bit in the target selection dialog.  Otherwise, there's a
workaround... The "more options" thing describes the commands that are
used when the Run button is pressed.

If it is using "continue", then I would recommend you try running using
only command-line gdb: "file MYEXE"; "set remotebaud BAUD" (if needed);
"target TGT [OPTIONS]"; "load"; "break FUNCTION"; "cont".

In insight, the Run button always means: "Do whatever needs to be done
to get something running on the target." Of course, this means different
things to various targets.

Put all your commands into a text file. Then enter the command "source
MYFILE" in the "command to ...." in the target selection dialog.
