Hi All,
Qemu is a machine emulator software with inbuilt GDB server support for remote debugging through TCP.
I am trying emulate VerstailePB board and boot linux kernel over it . I am freezing the execution of cpu after restart and connecting it from a gdb client . In my case am using ARM DS-5 as gdb client to start the connection to Qemu .
I am get following error after connecting to Qemu from ARM DS-5 when i run the command "continue" to start the execution of cpu to boot linux kernel over VersatilePB board.
ERROR(CMD441-TAD8-NAL60):
! Continuing failed
! Unable to run device gdbserver
! Remote gdbserver did not recognize message

Hi Shabarish,
Welcome to ARM online community.
Your question is good, but you'd better raise it in Software Development Tools where other users will help you.

Happy new year!

It looks like the version mismatch between gdb client and gdb server. But I also notice that you are trying to do kernel debug, aren't you? gdb solution is more suitable for application debug.
And DS-5 was not designed to work with Qemu officially. With some hacks, it might be able to do application level debug via gdb/gdbserver routine with Qemu. If you want to do kernel debug, you might want to build in gdb stub into the kernel.
The official supported emulator/simulator is Fast Models/FVP(Fixed Virtual Platform). Not sure which DS-5 version you are using, but certain DS-5 editions include a FVP which you can have a try.
Best regards,
George
