How to set stack origin?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:45:31 -0000

How does bdm-gdb (version 6.3) set the stack origin?
When resetting cpu32, pc and sp value are loaded from
external memory, and vbr is reset to 0. This is usually
ROM, and not the RAM I loaded my application into.
Setting the sp obviously does not set the gdb
assumptions of stack-top.
How can I tell the gdb the real stack top I define? the
load command seems not to do this task and a manual
command is not documented.
Has anybody an idea or a workaround?

m68k-bdm-1.3.0

Anonymous — Tue, 31 May 2005 14:50:07 -0000

I am trying to compile the BDM library (m68k-bdm-
1.3.0) using MinGW (tryed with versions: 3.0.0-1, 3.1.0-
1, 3.2.0-rc-3) and MSYS (version 1.0.10-1). I get the
following error:

m68k-bdm-1.3.0/flashlib/bdmfilt.h:15 error: syntax error
before "caddr_t"

and several other errors and warning. See the attached
file.

Thanks, regards,

Could you add rambar2 for the 5407?

Cheers.

Failed - make all install

First attempt (logged in as root) :

cd m68k-bdm-1.3.0/driver/linux:

make all install

.../pathdown.sh: access denied

I manually changed the Permission on the path to the file
and the file itself.

Then:

make all install

..../pathdown.sh: line 4: TOPDIR: parameter null or not set

Run xconfig, enable the loadable module support
save and exit

make dep

reboot machine

cd m68k.../driver/linux

make all install

..../pathdown.sh: line 4: TOPDIR: parameter null or not set

Any suggestions?

Problems on Win32/Cygwin

Brian Rose — Wed, 06 Oct 2004 12:54:24 -0000

I am trying to build the gdb-bdm tools on WindowsXP
Home with Cygwin and I am getting an error. I followed
the directions in the readme, and it is failing on step
6. Everything compiles fine, but it just won't link.

Below is the relevant output from 'make'. The problem
seems to be in the `cat ofiles` line where the shell
should execute `cat ofiles` and put its output into the
file list. But it does not seem to do this and instead,
the libtool seems to take the `cat ofiles` to be a
filename or something.

Any ideas on a workaround? Perhaps the cygwin /bin/sh
is not working correctly? Has anyone had this problem
before?

echo $f > tofiles
/bin/sh ../../../src/gdb-6.0/bfd/../move-if-change
tofiles ofiles
touch stamp-ofiles
