Re: gdb ARM stub


Hi Joseph,

I've written an ARM stub. It supports
the old (i.e. not extended) generic
remote protocol, like the i386 and
sparc stubs. It only supports arm32
(doesn't support thumb).

I still haven't submitted it to
Cygnus yet, but am planning on it.

There are still some problems
with a remote ARM32 target in gdb,
and I had to make some changes to
gdb proper to get single-stepping
to work. See the November 1998
archive for details.

BTW, I was perusing through the
Linux 2.2 kernel sources for the
new ARM support, and found a comment
that the ARM's "stmia rn, {...}^"
instruction has a bug. Does anyone know
this to be true? If so, it would explain
some (if not all) of the problems I was
seeing with a remote ARM target using my
stub.
