[Barrelfish-users] FW: Barrelfish OS-gdb session

[Kästle Stefan]

Hello,

[forgot to CC list]

I saw this problem before and as far as I remember, you can just comment out the line in the gdb source file and recompile it (gdb/remote.c). Does this work for you?

Cheers,
 Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for the info. I progressed few steps and got stuck with  “Remote 'g' packet reply is too long: “

I did the following:

make debugsim
file x86_64/sbin/elver
l
b 1
b 100
info breakpoints
info sources
c

it breaks at execution line 1 and type n to next or s to step into the function -

(gdb) file x86_64/sbin/elver
A program is being debugged already.
Are you sure you want to change the file? (y or n) y

(gdb) b 100

I did google on this error message, they say to set the architecture to x86_64 [set architecture i386:x86-64:intel] - done, still error persists.

(gdb) show arch
The target architecture is set automatically (currently i386:x86-64)
Please assist, also I din't find the gdbinit file to check.

Hello All,

I have recently stared working on BF OS and need assistance to understand the OS internals.

I am using "make sim" on x86_64 and it compiles and runs the BF till it reachs the fish prompt.

Now to get into the BF internals I am trying to get the compiled BF code into a gdb session and start the run part so that I can get into each module and see the things.

Please assist me a way out..

Thanks,
Vishwas K.M
