Remote Debugging

Introduction

Remote debugging using the gdb debugger is available between machines of the same architecture. The process is as follows:

On the target machine run:

    gdbserver 127.0.0.1:22222 qpe

On the host machine run:

    Create symlink for /opt/Qtopia to image/opt/Qtopia that was built for device
    Run ddd and tell it the location od the cross built gdb:
    ddd --debugger "/opt/toolchains/..../bin/gdb"
    In ddd : file /opt/Qtopia/bin/qpe
    In ddd : target remote deviceip:22222
    In ddd : handle SIG32 nostop noprint
    In ddd : handle SIGTRAP nostop noprint
    In ddd : handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint
    In ddd : break main
    In ddd : cont

Note: If no core file is generated run: ulimit -c 64000.
