This patch adds a board file for against a simavr target (so, for the
AVR architecture).
simavr, when started with option -g, runs a GDB stub on port 1234. In
the current latest release (1.6), the port is hardcoded to 1234. But in
master, there is the option to choose another port. So while the board
file hardcodes the port today, in the future it should be possible to
let the user choose a port, or automatically select a free port.
It is easy enough to run, make sure you have avr-gcc/avr-g++ and simavr
installed, and as usual just run:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=simavr"
The following environment variables influence the behavior of the board
file:
- SIMAVR_MCU: type of chip to simulate
- SIMAVR_PATH: path to simavr binary (useful if you build your own
simavr or for some reason it is not simply called `simavr`.
As expected, there are a lot of failures. Many tests use some features
not supported by such a target, and I suppose there are real GDB bugs
too. But a lot also passes (including tests that actually run stuff),
so this board file should still help to validate changes to the AVR
architecture support.
These are the results I got of running tests gdb.base/*.exp:
# of expected passes 20926
# of unexpected failures 2257
# of expected failures 14
# of unknown successes 1
# of known failures 13
# of unresolved testcases 592
# of untested testcases 156
# of unsupported tests 30
# of paths in test names 3
# of duplicate test names 56

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
