Debugging from eclipse

Dimitri Gilburd

Hi,

I've been trying to set up debugging through eclipse by following this guide: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra443/swra443.pdf

And after I do everything according to the guide, I manage to build and use the programmer but I get the following error message (in the XDS GDB Agent) when I try to actually debug the program and i can't stop the execution, set breakpoints or anything else:

ERROR: read_one_register() backend call returned 64

Any help on this? Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

Dima

Dimitri,

There is a nice step by step guide here, that might be helpful.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

The guide will be very useful once I start working with contiki, but right now I'm trying to get the debugging working. I managed to compile and program the device from eclipse, the only problem is debugging. Any advice in that area?

Thanks,

Dima.

Hi,

I have the same error as you do, but still my setup is working. Could you please describe your setup a bit more. Which versions of the SW packages are you using? Are you on Linux or Windows?

Please also check if the 'Debugger' and 'Startup' tabs are configured as described in the document (Figure 10 and Figure 11).

Regards,

Bjørn

This is the output I have in the GDB agent GUI.

I'm on windows (though I tried linux earlier with the same result), I tried it with both the latest eclipse and helios. I'm using emupack version 5.1.507.1. Anything else?

Which version of gdb are you using? I'm using codesourcery 2008q3, maybe that's what causes the problems?

I was thinking the same. Maybe the problem you see is due to incompatibility between the versions of CodeSourcery and the GDB agent.

I have this CodeSourcery version:

arm-none-eabi-gcc (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2012.03-56) 4.6.3

All.

Just finished a short guide on how to debug Contiki on Windows using Code::Blocks IDE. It is not easy to do, since you need to familiar with the GDB commands, but I think it will help in most cases for doing basic debugging:
