x86 gdb with ppc8xx gdbserver

x86 gdb with ppc8xx gdbserver

Hi,
We are trying to setup gdbserver and gdb for target debugging. We were able
to connect and debug with eldk's ppc8xx/gdb and ppc8xx gdbserver without any
issues.

But I am not able to compile gdb in x86 for ppc8xx target. Can you please
point to some source tree of gdb that can be compiled for x86 platform for
ppc8xx target? I tried with gdb version 6.4 but it does not take
--target=ppc8xx option. I think the option that I am using to compile for
target is not right.

Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robin

Since you've been successful with the ELDK binaries,  why  not  using
the  ELDK  sources? Either the SRPM from the ELDK source distribution
(which gives you 5.2.1), or from the CVS,  which  has  the  (not  yet
released) ELDK 4.0 code (= 6.3.0)

Indeed, it is wrong. There is no such target architecture as "ppc8xx".

Best regards,

Please Look at the Docu, i get this work some month ago, but it was a
different host,build,target config.... 

i dont know anymore, but perhaps it helps to try to adjust this
settings.

(I can remember some options like "supported archs" or so...)

soory, that I can't provide exact infos, but I hope this helps a little
bit.

Good Luck,
Bye.
