* Patch from Eric Valette <valette@crf.canon.fr> and Emmanuel RaguetJoel Sherrill1999-08-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | <raguet@crf.canon.fr>: - the dec21140 driver code has been hardened (various bug fixed) Emmanuel, - bug in the mcp750 init code have been fixed (interrupt stack/initial stack initialization), BSS correctly cleared (Eric V) - remote debugging over TCP/IP is nearly complete (berakpoints, backtrace, variables,...) (Eric V), - exception handling code has also been improved in order to fully support RDBG requirements (Eric V),
* Patch from Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>:Joel Sherrill1999-04-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an attempt to work-around a couple of nasty bugs in librdbg's Makefiles and configuration: Configure and build RTEMS as below: configure --enable-networking --enable-rdbg --target=i386-rtems make RTEMS_BSP=i386ex After a few minutes you will notice that building aborts in librdbg .... Analysis: 1) librdbg is tried to be built, though librdbg is not supported and the required directory hierarchy librdbg/i386/i386ex/ is not existant. The cause for this is incorrect setting of HAS_RDBG in most make/custom/*.cfg files (except pc386.cfg). At the moment all custom/*.cfg files (except pc386.cfg) in general are required to contain HAS_RDBG=no. However, having HAS_NETWORKING=no in most custom/*.cfg files and the toplevel configure script suppress building librdbg for all CPUs except of i386. => The i386ex BSP falls though this scheme and librdbg is tried to be build (CPU=i386 and HAS_NETWORKING=yes). 2) The Makefile.ins below lib/librdbg in general support i386/pc386 only and are not capable to be used for multiple CPUs or BSPs (RPCGEN generates it's target and bsp-specific files into librdbg/, therefore no other CPU or BSP can ever be built afterwards). This problem is hidden until now, because only a single CPU/BSP pair (i386/pc386) is really supported. 3) The Makefile.ins below lib/librdbg can delete source files due to improper handling of source files (make clean removes the *.x files in the source-tree when configuring inside of the source-tree). The patch below tries to work-around these problems for the i386ex and the pc386 BSPs. This work-around is rather fragile (it applies rpcgen -D, I don't know how portable this is) and incomplete (all custom/*.cfg except of pc386.cfg should contain HAS_RDBG=no), nevertheless it should work.

and RPC support to RTEMS. Thanks. :) Email follows: Hello, For Xmas, here is the Remote Debugger on RTEMS ! Here are 2 patches for the Remote Debugger on RTEMS for pc386 from Linux host : - one for RTEMS it self, - one for GDB-4.17. 1/ RTEMS patch -------------- This patch adds 2 libraries : - a simplified SUN RPC library - the Remote Debugger library The configuration command is the following : ../rtems4/configure --target=i386-rtemself --enable-rtemsbsp=pc386 --enable-rdbg The SUN RPC library is built only if networking is set. The RDBG library is built if networking and enable-rdbg are set. The function used to initialize the debugger is : rtems_rdbg_initialize (); A special function has been created to force a task to be in a "debug" state : enterRdbg(). The use of this function is not mandatory. 2/ GDB-4.17 patch ----------------- This patch create a new RTEMS target for GDB-4.17. The configuration command is the following : ./configure --enable-shared --target=i386RTEMS To connect to a target, use : target rtems [your_site_address] Then, attach the target using : attach 1 And... Debug ;) You can obtain the original GDB-4.17 on ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/source/devel/gdb_4.17.orig.tar.gz This has been tested from a Debian 2.0.1 linux host.
