Re: doing tracepoint on remote target through gdbserver

[Benjamin Tze-Kit Lee <btlee at sfu dot ca>]

Hi,

Sorry, but just want to make things clear.
Does that mean that the gdb feature "tracepoint" does not actually works?
Coz in order to do tracepoint, we must do that through remote
debugging.  And to do remote debugging, one can only use gdbserver or
through some sort of serial ports.  However, gdbserver does not support
tracepoint and there are no stub avalible that can do this.

So is there a way that I can test out on the tracepoint function?


Thank you very much.
