[comp.sys.nsc.32k] Gdb for pc532 hybrid minix 1.5.10 working

jkp@sauna.hut.fi (Jyrki Kuoppala) (02/26/91)

I now have gdb 3.5 working on the 1.5.10 hybrid Minix.  The diffs for
this are in nic.funet.fi:pub/misc/pc532/diffs-1.5.

It requires that you use gcc, gas & GNU binutils.  Reading symbols,
disassembling, examinining core files etc. seem to work rather fine -
I haven't done extensive testing, though.

But, because of the 1.3 kernel, the kernel doesn't handle sys_trace,
but instead panics.  So, running a program under gdb doesn't currently
work.  I have started putting sys_trace support in, but I really don't
know that much about the ns32532 - I don't even know what bit is the
trace bit in the status word ;-).  Also, is there anything special to
do when tracing a process in the 32532 ?
