Configuring gdb for arm

Configuring gdb for arm

[Imtiaz Sajwani]

Daniel thanks for the help with gdbserver, I got it running on my target 
board with strong arm


Have also build the gdb with --target=arm-unknown-linux, gdb seems to have 
no idea about a symbol table. Is there anything I need to do while 
building/running gdb for arm. Do I need my arm app on the host side??

Here is the host side
[root@localhost gdb]# ./gdb

Setting up the environment for debugging gdb.
.gdbinit:5: Error in sourced command file:

Target side
# ./gdbserver 134.134.19.228:2345 testapp &
Process testapp created; pid = 211
# Remote debugging from host 134.134.19.228
