Problems with the msp432 linux support package

thanks david,

please let us know what version of Linux you are running on so we can tell if we have different types of oranges.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04  64 bit with i386 enabled as a foreign architecture.

CCS is v6.2.0.48

Hi Eric,

 I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit and with CCS v6.1.3 and I got a similar behavior.

I can connect to the target, stop and run but I could not set any breakpoints.

And I found out that some DLL are missing from the standalone package. A bug has been filed but I do not have a timeline on the resolution. please take a look at this thread e2e.ti.com/.../522572

  Regards,

    David

"I can connect to the target, stop and run but I could not set any breakpoints (I also confirmed that this works on windows)."

Not sure why the above didn't appear in the forum but did show up in the email version.

Anyway...  When you say it works on Windows do you mean the gdb_agent on windows talking to the XDS 110 works properly?

That you are able to set breakpoints?

thanks,

eric

Hi Eric,

 That's correct. I had to add it in my debug configuration.

Best regards,

  David

For what is worth, I see the missing lib in CCS 6.2 for linux

$ find . -name 'libctools.so'
./ccsv6/ccs_base/emulation/analysis/bin/libctools.so

I found that as well.  I have added that lib in various ways and it still doesn't work.  According to XDS GDB Agent (processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/XDS_GDB_Agent), one should set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to contain ccs_base/emulation/drivers and ccs_base/emulation/analysis/bin directories.  I did and it doesn't help.  (Why?  Because TI bypassed the normal library mechanisms, see below).

what is even stranger is I looked at what libraries are linked into gdb_agent_console:

zot (17): ldd gdb_agent_console
    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff399fe000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f1e9141a000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f1e91115000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f1e90eff000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f1e90ce1000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f1e9091b000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f1e9163b000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f1e90615000)

notice libctool doesn't show up.  This is pretty weird.  I also did a search for strings inside of gdb_agent_console and see:

/emulation/drivers//
CTOOLS_BIN
PATH
Reusing environment from previous session.
libctools.so
Failed to load ctools library
ctoolsBinDir
pathinfo.ini

So it looks like the code is doing somekind of hard coded library open bypassing all the normal mechanisms.  So it is very unclear how to teach it where to find it.

Other library names buried inside gdb_agent_console are:

libgdb_agent.so
libxdsboard.so
libxdsfast3.so
libti_targetdb_parser.so
libmsp430.so
libctools.so
libtargetadapter.so
libTargetAdapter.so
libFlashMSP432.so
libjioxds110

It looks like there are various local (ie. some where in the install directory tree) places that it looks, rather than following normal library path search.

Maybe you should try running gdb_agent_console using strace and see exactly which directories and files it is trying to open.

Hi Rick,

I'm seeing this problem as well. Here's more details, including the strace output.

Dan, I would target your response to someone at ti. I'm just a casual crash observer. maybe DavidL (2005340) could help?

[Edit note: I can barely read in this editor, the font is so small ... .. sorry for misspelling your name Dan]

Thanks for the pointer to the right place. I will post directly to TI. You just seemed like a helpful (and clueful) guy :-)
