I posted this on the Xilinx EDK forum without success so far.
I recently upgraded to EDK 9.2.02i and built up the TestApp_Peripheral executable for the Xilinx Spartan-3E Starter Board Rev D. I can run the exe OK but I am having problems getting GDB to talk to it. The reason for testing GDB on this app was to ensure that GDB was working properly before tackling another more complex application under development.
I have set the -g and -O0 option for both library generation as well as the TestApp_Peripheral application.
When I run GDB, GDB opens, then when I press the RUN icon, GDB appears to download the application as indicated by the progress bar at the bottom right of the screen but the target selection dialog box is again immediately again displayed. The RUN icon is grayed out.
In the xbash console window, the following pair of messages is shown
Info: Accepted a new GDB connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 2195 System Reset ........DONE
Info: Closed the GDB connection from 127.0.0.1 on port 2195 Error: Connection terminated by client.
Is there a problem with GDB with this EDK version or am I doing something wrong?
I have searched the Xilinx archives!
Any help appreciated,
John Robbins
