Re: [Xenomai-help] Debugging realtime tasks

[Andreas Erler <a.erler@domain.hid>]

Hello Gilles,

thank you, you were right!
I've used gdbserver 6.6 on my target and gdb 6.8 on my host.
I now have on both machines the same versions and voilà it works :-)

Thank you very much,
Andy

Yes, it is supposed to work. A common problem with using gdbserver
with gdb is not using the same version, you should use absolutely the
same  version of gdb and gdbserver.

If you use the same version of gdb and gdbserver and still have the
problem, could you post an example, and tell us where to put the
breakpoint ?

You should also tell us which version of Xenomai you use, and on which platform.
