gdbserver-6.3 issue

gdbserver-6.3 issue

[vinay hegde]

Hi, 

I am using a x86 host and a PPC target to test the
gdb-6.3. But, in the gdb session, I get "segmentation
fault" error. I do the following to test the gdb:

1. Boot the target.
2. Copy the test program (simple hello world) on the
target.
3. Issue the following command on the target:
     gdbserver :1234 ./test
4. On the host, launch gdb session.
     gdb ./test
5. In the gdb session, issue following:
     > target extended-remote <target ip>:1234

Then, I get following output:

>>>>>>>>>>>
(gdb) target extended-remote 192.168.4.16:1234
Remote debugging using 192.168.4.16:1234

warning: Remote sent bad register number 66524:

Segmentation fault
<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Can somebody please help in this regard? I browsed
through remote.c and linux-low.c files, but can't see
anything wrong.

Thanks,
Vinay.

This error almost always means that you have not correctly configured
your gdb and gdbserver for the same target.

To build a cross-gdb, you must use --target.  To build a native
gdbserver, you must use --host.
