I have hit an issue with my ARM evaluation (C6A816x/AM389x EVM ) using the TI board. The application that I plan on using for benchmarking crashes upon startup. This same source code works just fine on my ATOM processor box which is running Ubuntu 10.04LTS. My steps with the ARM platform thus far:
I have created an Ubuntu 10.04LTS VM.
I tried to install the Code Sourcery G++ tools from the CDROM but it would not run.
I downloaded the same version online from Mentor Graphics and that one installed successfully. 2009q1-203
I ran the ezsdk...setup_linux install
I created a new SD card
Built our benchmark application and copied to the SD card
Powered on the board with a console connected
up to this point everything seems to be working just fine...
when I try to run the application I get some of the normal startup messages but then the app crashes with a segmentation fault
I have tried to run gdbserver to do some remote debug but can't seem to get beyond some very early pthreads statements...
I'm not really a software engineer and unfortunately the resource at Checkpoint that would look at this is out for the next 3 weeks on vacation. Do you have a resource that can help me out with this?
