Chapter 20. Configuration-Specific Information

COM2: 9600, n, 8, 1, p

Warning:

We have noticed a bug in PC-NFS that conflicts with

asynctsr

. If you also run PC-NFS on your

DOS host, you may need to disable it, or even boot without it, to use

asynctsr

to control your development

board.

Now that serial communications are set up, and the development board is connected, you can start

up gdb. Call

gdb

with the name of your program as the argument.

gdb

prompts you, as usual, with

the prompt

(gdb)

. Use two special commands to begin your debugging session:

target hms

to

specify cross-debugging to the Hitachi board, and the

load

command to download your program to

the board.

load

displays the names of the program’s sections, and a

*

for each 2K of data downloaded.

(If you want to refresh gdb data on symbols or on the executable file without downloading, use the

gdb commands

file

or

symbol-file

. These commands, and

load

itself, are described in (refer to

Section 17.1

Commands to specify files

.)

(eg-C:\H8300\TEST) gdb t.x
gdb is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies

of it under certain conditions; type "show copying" to see
the conditions.

There is absolutely no warranty for gdb; type "show warranty"
for details.
gdb 2003-07-22-cvs, Copyright 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc...
(gdb) target hms
Connected to remote H8/300 HMS system.
(gdb) load t.x
.text

: 0x8000 .. 0xabde ***********

.data

: 0xabde .. 0xad30 *

.stack

: 0xf000 .. 0xf014 *

At this point, you’re ready to run or debug your program. From here on, you can use all the usual gdb

commands. The

break

command sets breakpoints; the

run

command starts your program;

print

or

x

display data; the

continue

command resumes execution after stopping at a breakpoint. You can

use the

help

command at any time to find out more about gdb commands.

Remember, however, that

operating system

facilities aren’t available on your development board; for

example, if your program hangs, you can’t send an interrupt--but you can press the reset switch!
Use the reset button on the development board

•

to interrupt your program (don’t use

ctl-C

on the DOS host--it has no way to pass an interrupt

signal to the development board); and

•

to return to the gdb command prompt after your program finishes normally. The communications

protocol provides no other way for gdb to detect program completion.

In either case, gdb sees the effect of a reset on the development board as a "normal exit" of your

program.

20.3.2.2. Using the E7000 in-circuit emulator

You can use the E7000 in-circuit emulator to develop code for either the Hitachi SH or the H8/300H.

Use one of these forms of the

target e7000

command to connect gdb to your E7000:
