Kindly suggest some steps or operations which confirms the basic host and target communication is working fine..

I am stuck up with connection itself....

1. Copied "gdbserver" ( ARM compiled ) on to target board.
./gdbserver 192.168.1.2:9876 ../from_host/test_arm

2. start gdb from host system

On the remote target the complete program is just executing and showing the results...

Not able to debug the program step by step not even any break..

Am searching for some step by step host : target gdb setup through cris-cross cables...

I dont have serial port on my laptop, generally there are more articles on serial connections... seems that used by most ..

Parallel I am looking at running dejagnu testsuite for x86 locally.. thinking of extend the x86 execution method of connection of host and target for ARM Board..

http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/gdb-5.1.1/html_node/gdb_130.html
the things in the above link, I have followed... later stuffs are not clear to me.. Logs attached for the reference...
Thanks & Regards,
-Chandra K

test.c
compile c program and copy on to target board.
( linux$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.5.1 -g test.c -o test_arm )

--------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
int i=0;
int j;

for (j=0;j<=10;j++) {
i=(int)random();
printf("i=%d when j=%d\n",i,j);
}

return 0;
}
