Re: SDS SingleStep with GCC for PowerPC? GDB with HP JTAG box?


Alan,

I believe when using Gcc you need to use the -g option to cause the compiler
to output elf/dwarf.   I have a number customers that are using gcc from
cygnus directly as well as from WindRiver with SingleStep.   As far as
Corporate support not getting back to you this is a time when you should
give me a call.   My rule of thumb is 24 hours.  You may also want to
contact our local applications engineers Kevin Chea and Jeff Barth at (408)
260-2048 for more information on getting gcc to work with SIngleStep.
Again there is no excuse for Corporate support not returning your call
within 24 hours.
