msp-gdb message?

Please post the complete gdb session (including the command you used to start gdb). Also post the contents of .gdbinit (or whatever it's called on Cygwin systems). Don't attempt to re-type stuff: cut/paste it into the posting without changing anything (including line breaks).

Hi,

I invoked gdb with:

msp430-gdb test_1

And gdb outputs this:

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin

--target=msp430"..."/home/tst/LCD/test_1": not in executable format: File format not recognized

I've seen that this message doesn't come when msp-gcc is invoked with the option "-mmcu=msp430x1121" instead of "-mmcu=msp430x449" to compile and link test_1 in the commandline:

msp430-gcc main.c -o test_1.elf -mmcu=msp430x449 -O2 -Wall -g

Thanks for any help, Martin.

I'm not familiar with gdb (i'm a fan of 'printk' at kernel level and background monitoring at embedded level), but it seems to me that you are dealing with different files: 'test_1.elf' for compiler/linker output and 'test_1' for debugger input. May be you should double check which files you are actually using.
