Hello all,
I am getting extremely frustrated with DS-5 and Eclipse and it's connection to my target.
It is extremely slow, sometimes taking a few minutes to respond. Eclipse will sit at 100% utilization of a core, and apparently, be doing NOTHING.
Not only that, single stepping, memory viewing and pretty much anything takes a very long time.
Even initial startup takes a very, very long time.
This is, by far, one of the slowest debuggers I have ever used and I'm seriously considering not renewing any support contract with it.
Outline of setup:-
Marvell SoC system,
Connection via Ethernet, using gdbserver to debug an application,
JTAG is not available, due to encryption on JTAG port.
Target system is running linux 3.4.50, it's a dual core system running at 1GHz.
There may be a fundamental set up issue with DS-5 or Eclipse, if there is, I need to resolve this.
I would very much appreciate any assistance in diagnosing this problem. I need to debug my application, and this is not helping.
I discovered the gdbserver running on the client was quite old. 7.6.50.20130601. I have updated it to the latest, and it seems to be functioning better.
I've updated the gdbserver to 7.8.
I will try it for a few days before filing the support request, it may have just been down to this.
But, even besides this, I generally find Eclipse to be unacceptably slow. I *should* be able to single-step at auto-repeat rates. But there's no way it comes close to that. It seems to take almost 300ms to update the display.
Brian.
