Has anyone modified GDB to support post mortem analysis (core dumps) on embedded targets? I can't imagine that target-side support would be too difficult. The implementation I'm imagining would have the exception handler save state and then jump to a dump routine that would initialize itself (assuming nothing about hardware state, etc.) and operate in a pre- defined/reserved region of memory. It would then dump the register and memory contents over the network via tftp or to a flash device. However, on the GDB side, core file support seems to be entertwined with "native" (host == target) debugging environments. Thoughts anyone? --jtc -- J.T. Conklin RedBack Networks
