linux application debugging using RVDS

Hello,

I am suing RVDS 4.0 and OMAP3530.

How to do Linux application debugging using RVDS with or wihtout RealView ICE ?

Does it require GDB for that?

Thanks,

    As ttfn states, RVD doesn't really support OS-level debugging. It's fine for debugging things that don't move (kernel, device drivers, etc), but application level debug is a bit of a stretch because things get paged in and out / context switched.

    Treat the ARM board just like a Linux desktop - compile an on-target GDB stub, and use an on-target GDB session to connect to the process you want to debug.

    As far as I am aware, RVD does not support Linux application debug.  It is a "bare metal" debugger without Linux OS awareness.  You could check with ARM support for confirmation.
