先肯定默认crosstool交叉编译器是否有自带gdbserver,若是有就不须要自行编译。通常都会带有对应的gdbserver工具,能够经过find命令查找肯定: php
hong@ubuntu:~/work/system$ which arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc /opt/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc hong@ubuntu:~/work/emrock/emrock/system$ find /opt/arm-2009q3 -name gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/thumb2/usr/bin/gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/thumb2/usr/lib/bin/gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/armv4t/usr/bin/gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/armv4t/usr/lib/bin/gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/bin/gdbserver /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/lib/bin/gdbserver hong@ubuntu:~/work/system$
若是找到了就直接跳到步骤4,没有的话就须要自行编译了。 前端
编译gdbserver linux
到GNU官方FTP下载, 下载地址:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/ shell
# cd gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/ #./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/work/install/gdbserver #make #make install这时会在/work/install/gdbserver目录下生成bin/gdbserver,将其拷贝到nfs文件系统
#cd /work/install/gdbserver #cp bin/gdbserver /work/nfs/rootfs/bin
这里须要特别注意的是交叉编译的gdbserver和host调试用的gdb版本必须保证版本一致,不然会出现以下的问题: ubuntu
hong@ubuntu:~/work/$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb ./ipcr002_debug (gdb) target remote 192.168.0.178:1234 Remote debugging using 192.168.0.178:1234 Malformed packet(b) (missing colon): ore:0; Packet: 'T050b:00000000;0d:80bdc3be;0f:b0070040;thread:5c21;core:0;'产生这个问题时:编译gdbserver用的是gdb7.5,而arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb的版本是:
hong@ubuntu:~/work/system$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb --version GNU gdb (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) 6.8.50.20090630-cvs
而我使用交叉编译工具链自带的gdbserver就不会有这个问题。除了使用自带的gdbserver外,另外一种解决办法就是从新从gdb源码编译arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb,这样也能够保证二者的版本一致。 app
# gdbserver -h (target) gdbserver: error while loading shared libraries: libthread_db.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory # cp -avf lib/libthread_db* /work/nfs/rootfs_bluetooth_omap/lib/ `/lib/libthread_db-1.0.so' -> `/work/nfs/rootfs/lib/libthread_db-1.0.so' `/lib/libthread_db.so.1' -> `/work/nfs/rootfs/lib/libthread_db.so.1'注:若不知道缺乏什么库能够根据运行时错误提示拷贝或者用先用strace跟踪一下:
Listening on port 1234 工具
其中IP地址为用来远程调试的上位机地址(如今直接被gdbserver忽略掉,因此能够不写),端口为target TCP 监听端口。目标程序不须要符号表,便可以是strip后的,这样能够节省存储空间,全部的符号信息处理都是在Host端的gdb处完成的。 ui
2)Host端GDB加载要调试的程序# arm-linux-gdb obexftp GNU gdb 6.6.50.20070301 (MontaVista 6.6.50-2.0.1.0702865 2007-03-26) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

修改的办法是设置GDB的环境变量: spa
hong@ubuntu:~/work/system$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb -q ipcr002_debug_gdb (gdb) show solib-absolute-prefix The current system root is "". (gdb) show solib-search-path The search path for loading non-absolute shared library symbol files is . (gdb) set solib-absolute-prefix /opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc (gdb) set solib-search-path /tftpboot/ak_ipc (gdb) show solib-absolute-prefix The current system root is "/opt/arm-2009q3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc". (gdb) show solib-search-path The search path for loading non-absolute shared library symbol files is /tftpboot/ak_ipc.
solib-absolute-prefix设置的是被搜索文件路径的前缀,通常设置为交叉编译工具链的库路径前缀,即不包括lib目录,lib目录的父目录,solib-search-path设置的是被搜索库文件的路径。solib-search-path能够有多个路径,中间按用:隔开, solib-absolute-prefix的值只能有一个。若在solib-absolute-prefix指定的路径内没有搜索到库,则再继续尝试从solib-search-path指定的路径进行搜索。 .net
