Re: Where to get a previous version of prebuilt GNU toolchain?


Thanks for your help.

I have switched to a totally freeware debug enviroment now.

I made a wiggler(-clone) JTAG debugger according to the schematic from web. Then I installed and setup a OpenOCD debug server to drive the wiggler from PC's palport. After this, the GDB/Insight can connect to the OpenOCD through Remote/TCP connection to localhost.

There are still some inconvenience and little problem in this enviroment. Anyway, I think it's much better than the AXD now.

I'm not sure whether I can burn external flash through OpenOCD, and I still use the AXD to burn raw bin file to target board before debug.

Gdb fully supports elf/dwarf2. You can get jtag emulators which gdb
can talk to. I personally have a peedi which works well for me.

If you don't like the CLI form gdb there are also GUI applications
which can run on top of gdb, eg insight, DDD etc.
