I'm working with an LPC2103 Olimex Dev kit with
GCC/OpenOCD/GDB/arm-elf-insight. I can get the part loaded up in
insight and kick off my program just fine, but want to "graduate" to
using just the GDB interface (insight is a lot of clutter for me, and I
prefer the console interace) I can't figure out though how to kick off
my program once I've got it loaded. Here's my session:

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu

(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
Remote debugging using localhost:3333
0x7fffe278 in ?? ()

(gdb) i p
Debugging a target over a serial line.
Program stopped at 0x7fffe278.
It stopped with signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
(gdb)
So what now? I can set the PC to 0x40000000 and kick it off, but that
doesn't work. I know this can work because insight does it for me, but
I don't know what the heck it's doing behind the scenes. Does anyone
else use this toolchain? What's the best way about things?

Cheers,

Hi,

First you need to figure out entry address for your code.
>From the messages below looks like you are linking it
to run from SRAM so it could be 0x40000050.

Try

jump *0x40000050

If 0x40000050 does not work then you need to either check your
linker script or run under Insight and capture the GDB
commands.

Trying that now.

How do I capture the gdb commands from insight?? That would be /enormously/ instructive!

Thanks!
