How To Compile Tool Chain For Bootloader

By
For compiling Uboot 3.4.4 tool chain is required.
Steps to check and change tool chain correspondingly
1) At the bash prompt of your Linux PC, execute the following command.

$ tar -zxvf arm-tools.tar.gz

Now you will have the "arm-tools" folder created in your current directory.


2) Copy the "arm-tools" directory to your home directory (or wherever you
prefer to)

$ cp -rf arm-tools ~/


3) Modify the .bash_profile file in the home directory, by using the following
steps. (Add the following lines in .bash_profile)

$ vi ~/.bash_profile

This will open the file for editing. Make the following changes in the file

export HOME=$HOME/arm-tools
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/arm-tools/arm-linux/bin:$HOME/arm- tools/image_tools/:$HOME/arm-tools/image_tools/bin

export PATH

Close the ".bash_profile" file.


4) Then execute the command

$ source .bash_profile


5) To check whether arm-tools environment has been properly set or not type the
following at the prompt

$ which arm-linux-gcc

The expected output is as follows:

~/arm-tools/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc

If the tool chain doesn't get set with by doing above step 5 logout and login
again to the system and repeat the step 5.

Remote debugging for ARM target board

By
Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
