Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hi,
We have a custom firmware update scheme, where we write a checksum the .out file using.
msp430-elf-gdb --write --se firmware.out
This works with msp430-gcc 5.3.0.219 and msp430-gcc 5.3.0.224. But newer versions like 6.2.1.16 and 6.4.0.032 crash on exit. The problem can be reproduced on both macOS and windows (not tested on Linux).
Steps to reproduce
1) start GDB with --write option load any .out file
2) quit
Below is an example from macOS.
On windows, we get a dialog box saying that the program stopped working, asking if the debugger should be started.
Are there any workarounds for this problem besides using the old toolchains?
Thanks and regards,
-Asger
