Linux嵌入式GDB调试环境搭建

======================= 我的环境 ==========================
PC 端： CPU：x86_64，系统：Ubuntu，IP：172.16.2.212
开发板：CPU：sw9820c，系统：openwrt linux，IP：172.16.30.20
PC端安装的 C 交叉编译器为 arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc（gcc version 4.6.3），即交叉编译工具链的前缀为 arm-none-linux-gnueabi。
===========================================================

1、GDB调试方式说明

　　一般桌面系统如Ubuntu、Centos等可以直接运行gdb + 目标可执行程序，而嵌入式系统则分情况，如果性能强劲且调试的源码文件比较少，也可以编译嵌入式版的gdb执行文件，即嵌入式gdb + 目标可执行程序。

如果性能弱或者调试对象的源码文件多可采用分离法，即PC端运行gdb，同时源码也在PC端，而目标可执行程序放到开发板，那怎么联系呢，所以开发板端还需要运行gdbserver，与PC端的gdb通过网络通信。

PC端也称客户端，开发板端为服务端， gdbserver 接收 gdb 所传送的命令（list， step等），然后调度执行文件，并把相关信息反馈给PC端， PC端解析后查询源码文件并显示到控制台。

　　注意，gdb调试除了可执行文件外还需要源码！而我的源码文件比较多，所以采用后者即 gdb + gdbserver。在介绍安装前，请确保宿主机和目标机可以相互ping通且可以telnet访问端口，因为两者是靠网络通信的！

2、安装

　a. 下载gdb

　　ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb ，我选择的是 gdb-6.8a.tar.bz2

　b. 解压编译

tar jxvf gdb-.8a.tar.bz2

//编译PC端 gdb

cd gdb-6.8/

mkdir _install

./configure --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --disable-werror --prefix=/home/fuzk/tools/gdb/gdb-6.8/_install  //没有设置host 默认= x86_64

make

make install

//编译开发板端 gdbserver

cd gdb-6.8/gdb/gdbserver

./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

make //当前路径就有gdbserver

3、测试

　　首先编写测试用例：

#include <stdio.h>

void debug(char *str)

{

    printf("debug info :%s\n",str );

}

main(int argc,char *argv[])

{

    int i,j;

    j=;

    for(i=;i<;i++){

        j+=;

        printf("now a=%d\n", j);

    }

}

　　arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -g test.c 生成a.out可执行文件，连同 gdb-6.8/gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver 一并拷贝到开发板，然后运行

　　当然也可以指定允许哪个IP地址访问，比如我的PC 172.16.2.212 访问开发板

　　PC端把可执行文件和源码拷贝到gdb-6.8/_install/bin下，

　　运行gdb：

fuzk@ubuntu:~/tools/gdb/gdb-6.8/_install/bin$ ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb

(gdb) n　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　这里发生异常， 直接执行完， 同时开发板也打印全部， 猜测是版本问题

　　gdb-6.8的PC端gdb貌似有问题，无法全部单步调试，我的交叉编译器是arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc，同时也提供了arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gdb，发现调试正常，跟我自己编译的区别在于版本是7.2，所以应该是版本问题，后续用系统自带的

其log如下：
