I am working on project now with an embedded 68332. For legacy reasons, they are stuck with the MRI compiler. I want to use cross/remote gdb as a debug tool. This is mostly old code that sufferes from being hacked a lot -- it is a test fixture, not a shipped product -- so I want a good debugger to help me navigate thru the spaghetti. :-) First question: What format are the object files produced by the MRI 68K compiler for this target? Second question: There is only one serial port on this box, and it is used to communicate between the workstation and the box during normal operation. I will need to share this serial port for gdb to work. The box is plugged into the serial port of an NCD X-terminal, so the host computer must communicate with the serial port via a socket, such as a telnet connection. Can I use an escape character, such as ^C to get the xgdb driver's attention in the target box, and likewise to switch the socket between the host copy of gdb and the host software that normally talks to the box? Third question: Where is the latest version of gdb located? I tried to ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu, but it kept timing out. :-( -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- R. J.
