- Subject: [ECOS] Debugging arm-eabi - no stack frame?
Hi,
I am trying to debug an ARM9 code compiled using arm-eabi-*
compilers installed with ecos 3.0 release. The code is
running in a skyeye emulator and is using its gdbserver.
As I don't have the real hardware, I am not able to test
how the internal eCos gdb support works - anyway,
I'd like to be able to debug the eCos kernel itself.
I am unable to do any backtraces (the emulator barfs
at trying to access adresses 0xfffffffc - f).
If I understand this correctly, the gdb expects r11 as
the frame pointer. However, this register is null -
no wonder this does not work.
Specifying -mapcs-frame and/or -fno-omit-frame-pointer
does not help.
Is this a known problem?
