Re: gdbserver: Target description specified unknown architecture “aarch64”

[Peter Balazovic]

this is mine config available on gdb

(gdb) show configuration
This GDB was configured as follows:
   configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32
             --with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
             --with-expat

 --with-gdb-datadir=/c/mingw810/x86_64-810-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/share/gdb
(relocatable)

 --with-jit-reader-dir=/c/mingw810/x86_64-810-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/lib/gdb
(relocatable)
             --without-libunwind-ia64
             --without-lzma

 --with-python=/c/mingw810/x86_64-810-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/opt
(relocatable)
             --without-guile

 --with-separate-debug-dir=/c/mingw810/x86_64-810-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/lib/debug
(relocatable)

 --with-system-gdbinit=/c/mingw810/x86_64-810-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/etc/gdbinit
(relocatable)
             --without-babeltrace

("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation
tree, and GDB will still find it.)
(gdb) set architecture
auto               i386:intel         i386:x64-32        i386:x64-32:nacl
 i386:x86-64:intel  i8086
i386               i386:nacl          i386:x64-32:intel  i386:x86-64
i386:x86-64:nacl
