Which version with JEENI?

Which version with JEENI?

[harri.siirtola]

Hi,

I just started using Insight after purchasing a JEENI. Back when I
installed Cygwin and other GNU tools, I seem to have downloaded the
20010523 snapshot of GDB (same for Insight?). It works quite well but I
can't use memory window preferences. I get 'Error: bad window path name
"::.memwin().memwin"' and am stuck with dword display.

So, as I need this functionality, I suppose it's best to get the most
reliable version as I'm into it.

Please give the best combination if possible. My platform is:

WIN98 (host=i586-pc-cygwin)
Cygwin 1.3.2
GDB (and Insight?) 20010523
target ARM-ELF

TIA,

	Harri

Hi Harri,

I'm using (actually, just started using them) GDB 5.0 (20010428-3) on Cygwin
1.3.12, but so far none of error messages or whatsoever showed up.
Possibly, as you mentioned, it's snapshot bug.

My platform is i686-pc-cygwin (on WinXP), and I chose everything when I
install Cygwin, for your infomation.

Harri,

I use 5.1.1 with both the Jeeni and MultiICE under cygwin, without
too many problems.

I had lots of problems with 5.0 and earlier snapshots.

I believe that 5.2 and 5.2.1 are difficult to compile under cygwin.
I have not tried to use them under cygwin, but there are instructions
on how to build them here:
http://sources.redhat.com/insight/cygwin.html

Hope this helps,
Tim

That doesn't sound like the same issue.  For the case I fixed,
the Rx/Tx light wouldn't be flashing and the "stop" button will
still work.

Actually it did, on some occasions. Now I have updated to 5.1.1 and I got
that behaviour once. The Rx/Tx light starts flashing as if there were a lot
of communication and the PC cursor only moves between flashes. The only way
to get out is kill Insight. Pressing stop button or trying to quit from
console gives "target is busy" (something like that).

My memory window problem went away with 5.1.1 so I'll try it for a while
and get the snapshot if the "sticky" bug starts getting in the way. Thanks
a lot!

A few months ago (July) I fixed the RDI target code (which is
used with Jeeni) so that it doesn't suck up all available host
CPU time while the target is executing.  If you notice gdb
using a lot of CPU time while it's just sitting there waiting
for your program to hit a breakpoint, that's the bug.  A recent
CVS snapshot should have it fixed.

Thanks guys, I think I'll try to install Insight 5.1.1 then.
