Insight crashes when I open a located image

Insight crashes when I open a located image

[Gerwyn Davies]

(No HTML this time I hope!)

Hello,

I have a problem where Insight crashes out when  I open an linked and
located object file, and was hoping that someone may be able to shed some
light onto it.

I'm using:-
>GNU gdb 4.17-gnupro-98r2
>This GDB was configured as
"--host=i586-pc-cygwin32 --target=mips-tx39-elf".
I dont know what version of Insight I'm using, maybe someone could tell me
how to find this out.

I've taken a look at the object file with objdump and can't see anything
wrong with it. If I open a compiled object, Insight is happy. I know what
you're going to say:- "Try it with GDB 5.0!", but I only want to use GDB 5.0
if I have to.


Many thanks.

Gerwyn

The diference is that Insight (the GUI) always send a "set remotebaud NNNN" before
the "Target" command.

Please try the sequence:

set remotebaud 9600     (or whatever your board speed is)
target remote com1      (I am assuming your board monitor has a gdb remote stub, 'course)

Dear maintainer:

when i run my program in console window. There is an error message.

starting program: /usr4/student/kings/mchang/testv2 12 34 56 78 90
Error: procfs: target_wait (wait_for_stop) line 3677,
/proc/05589:Interrupted system call.

my computer is sparc-sun-solaris with X11R5 and gdb -v is gdb 20000423

Does it matter? What should i do?

PS: If i use gdb -nw. everything work normally.
