Hi,
I am using CodeBlocks together with Uniwin to build and debug an application for a TI DaVinci Board.
Code editing, compiling and linking is working fine, except that i cannot use CodeBlocks as a frontend for debugging.
Using Uniwin's proxy gdb.exe directly from the command line on my Windows PC works fine.
My setup is based on the description in:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Uniwin_remote_compilerI think my problem is not new and has already been solved because exactly the same problem is mentioned in the last paragraph "Troubleshooting" of this wiki article. The Problem is that the bug fixed Uniwin proxy gdb.exe from the referred forum article has been deleted by the admin (
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,4516.15.html).
Can this patched version of Uniwin's gdb downloaded from anywhere else?
Is there an other workaround?
Maybe there is another reason for my problem, so please let me provide more details:
Actually, what i am trying to do is: Cross debugging the TI board using gdbserver from a Linux machine (with the Linux cross toolchain) and tunneling the commands with Uniwin so that i can control this from my Windows machine using CodeBlocks.
I have verified that the cross GDB integration in Codeblocks works in principle (tried it with a self compiled Windows native cross debug version of gdb for ARM, but this had other problems...). The "only" problem is with Uniwin's gdb.
* CodeBlocks Nightly Build: SVN 5716 (July 21 2009)
* Uniwin: uniwin.0.5b.binary.02_26_2006
* Development PC: Win XP
* CrossCompileToolchain: Montavista 5.0 (on SuSE Linux)
* Target: TMS320DM6467 EVM Board
* Toolchain prefix: arm_v5t_le-
* Some of Uniwin's executables (gcc, ar gdb) on my Windows machine have been renamed for also using the prefix, because otherwise the wrong programs are called on the CrossCompiling Linux machine. This is proposed in the Uniwin manual and works fine with the compiler and linker. But not with the Debugger.
* The PATH has Uniwin's bin directory as its first entry, in front of all other compilers/debuggers.
I can provide more details, if this is necessary.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this problem.
Many thanks in advance.
Oliver
