Hi,

I have modified the source code of the ardi.c and put the delay time to 0.5
sec. and all work fine.

thanks for your help

Interesting.  Should this be increased "permanently?" or should
it be made configurable?

GDB using Angel error on an OKI board

[Charles-Henri Balet]

Hello,

I'm using an OKI developpement board with the OKI ML671000 processor, this
is provide with an
ARM SDT 2.50 software and an ARM Angel 1.20 in the flash memory on the
board, when I use
the ARM Debugger with an angel link, all work fine in 9600 or 19200, the
message in the console
box at the start is the next :

Angel Debug Monitor V1.20 (ARM Ltd unreleased) for ML671000 CPU Board(OKI)
Built for ARM7TDMI Serial(x1), IRQ
Unreleased build Mar 14 2000
Serial Rate:   9600

all operation with memory, registers ... work fine with this debugger.

My problem is with arm-elf-gdb 5.1.1, when I start the software, the board
don't response any time
the next lines show how I start the link with the Angel on the OKI board :

$ arm-elf-gdb

RDI_open failed

(gdb) target rdi com1

for each reset, I obtain this message
Unexpected read on channel 4, length 192
Unexpected read on channel 4, length 192

the only message back are this line that appear on each time I press on the
reset button.

more info, when I start other command like this :

I use cygwin under windows 2000 pro, the answer of the command "uname -a" is
:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 CHARLES-HENRI 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknow

the answer of the two command "arm-elf-gdb -v" and "arm-elf-gdb -nw" is the
same is:
GNU gdb 5.1.1
Copyright 2002 Free ....
This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=arm-elf"

many thanks for your help

have a nice day

At this point things are probably already broken, so I don't
know if the messages below mean much.  ADP (the protocol used
by Angel) has a _lot_ of state to it, and restting the target
without restarting GDB never works (at least not for me).
Restarting GDB without resetting the target usually works, but
not always.

  1) Reset the board.
  2) Start GDB.
  3) Do the command "maint rdilogen on"
  4) Do the command "target rdi com1"
  5) Exit GDB

That should create a file named "rdi.log" with the initial ADP
packets logged to it.  Post that file and we'll see what we can
see.

The link check stuff has caused problems for me in the past
with other ADP devices.  Try doing a "set rdiheartbeat off"
before you do the "target" command.

Ah yes.  That link check command isn't sent by the heartbeat
feature -- it's part of the serial-port negotiation sequence.
It's possible for both ends to switch baud rates after the
initial parmeter negotiation, so a link check is sent to make
sure both ends are still talking.

The board isn't responding to the link check command.  It is
supposed to reply with another link check frame.  [At least
that is what happens with the ADP devices I have.]

I suppose you could go into the rdi code and try to skip over
that step in the start-up process to see if the board handles
the rest of the ADP commands correctly.

Or, you could try to capture the sequence used by the debugger
that works.

of the gdb community.  We certainly don't want to depend upon
either my memory or my record-keeping skills.]

That looks like ADP framing, 0x1c starts a frame, 0x1d ends a
frame, and 0x1b is the escape character (toggles bit 4 in the
next byte).  But, what's inside the frame doesn't match up with
the ADP frame format.  Parts of it look OK, but there are bytes
missing.  It looks like whatever you used to capture the data
has discarded all of the bytes with a value of 0x00.
