Hello,
I am attempting to run and debug the the HelloWorld_GCC sample application as described here:
Linux Application Debugging Using DS-5 – DS-5 Development Studio – ARM Developer
The application builds fine,however when I connect to the target in the debugger, Linux is launched in the FVP and the Debug Control window indicates the connection status as "connecting", but then eventually times out and changes to "disconnecting". I see a couple of entries in the final lines of the Telnet session that look suspicious:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
Configuring network interfaces... smc91x 1a000000.ethernet: eth0: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x0000
done.

root@genericarmv7a:~# v2m_cfg_write: writing 00000000 to 00700000
Questons:
1. Is the socket creation failure for rpcbind a problem or benign?
2. Why is v2m_cfg attempting to write zero bytes, and never returns?
I am running DS-5 Professional v5.24.1 on Windows 10.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on what the issue may be. If you would like me to post the entire content of the Telnet session, I can do that as well. I am able to manually cd to the /writeable directory from Telnet and run the 'hello' app on the FVP, I just can't connect to it with the debugger via gdb.
Thanks,
Frank
Hi Frankc,
Sorry about the delay, I have been out of the office.
We think there's a networking issue that is preventing the gdbserver <-> gdb comms being set up correctly.
I need to check a few things with some of my colleagues first to clarify my understanding on this.
I shall be in touch.
Regards,
Stuart
