ARM DS-5 Using the Debug Hardware Configuration Utilities

Configuring debug hardware for GDB9.14 Preparing your debug hardware for remote GDB connections9.14.1 See alsoTo prepare debug hardware to accept remote GDB connections and be able to communicate witha GDB session, you must:1. Create a debug hardware configuration file for your develpoment system.2. Use the rvigdbconfig command-line utility and specify:• the debug hardware configuration file you created in step 1• DCC parameters, if necessary.3. Use GDB to:• load the image symbols if required• connect to the processor.You might have to specify a port number if your system has multiple processors.Tasks• Connecting to targets from GDB through debug hardware on page 9-22• Setting DCC parameters on page 9-23.Concepts• About configuring debug hardware for debugging with GDB on page 9-3• Methods of connecting from remote GDB sessions on page 9-9• Loading and booting a complete system on page 9-26• Multiprocessor debugging with GDB and debug hardware on page 9-34.Reference• Debug hardware TCP/IP port numbering on page 9-6• DCC modes on page 9-7• rvigdbconfig command syntax on page 9-27.ARM DUI 0498F Copyright © 2010-2012 ARM.
