Problem debugging FX30 using shared library

1

Hi, I am trying to debug my application that is running on a FX30s. It builds and runs OK, but the debugger tries to attached with the following error messages…

Do you need “set solib-search-path” or “set sysroot”?
Quit

I am using DS 5.00 and LF 16.10.1.

The one shared library is cross compiled using arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++ not sure what the other 8 are…

How do I best get around this issue?

Thanks,

Karl

Hello Karl,

Please tell which procedure has been used on your side:

  • add “-d” option to mkapp
  • or rebuild Legato by passing STRIP_STAGING_STREE=0 to its make, add --cflags=“-g” and --ldflags=“-g” to mkapp, and pass “set solib-search-path” to GDB client?

Hi,

As per flu mentioned, please try to provide the -d option in mkapp command.

For your reference, Please check the below link for Debug using GDB.
