That implies that when I loaded a big-endian file it should have
switched to big-endian. It didn't seem to -- I'll have to try that
again.

Since 50% of my sample of 2 target interfaces don't correctly report
endianess, it may not be something worth investigating.

Now that I know what happened, it's not a big deal. I can just set it
in .gdbinit.

Historically, not all simulators have been assigned to the FSF. But while one
could make an argument that the sims are separate somehow, it doesn't set a very
good precedent - the whole point of the assignment policy is to have consistent
ownership, rather than the patchwork that's currently under sim/.

Hello!
I want to use gdb to remote debug applications on my board with mips
p4650
through the shared memory. I put printk in ioctl in driver. So I can
see what gde send
somthing with cmd 0x5401 and 0x5402 - TCGETS and TCSETS
So the question is: what does gdb send and what he is want to recieve?

Regards
Alexey
