Hi Guys,
I’ve been playing with openocd and beaglebone, trying to get it working with GDB.
Let me know your ideas about the following. For my experiment, I am debugging the Linux kernel.
Everything goes well, and I can even set hbreakpoints and halt, backtrace etc. However, when I try to single step, I get a kernel Oops.
The actual address that is to be stepped in o is “C0132100”, however from the kernel Oops, it appears that the address is “80132100”.
It does appear that the address is MMU converted before actually being used to set a breakpoint.
Any ideas around how this can be avoided, and the single step done directly on physical address (C0132100)?
Incidentally I get the same backtrace if I try to set a software break point (break) instead of hardware (hbreak).
