使用gdbserver遠(yuǎn)程調(diào)試
 
1.默認(rèn)crosstool交叉編譯器沒有自帶gdbserver，需要自行編譯
到GNU官方FTP下載，目前最新版的是gdb-6.7.1
下載地址：http://ftp./gnu/gdb/
注：若已有g(shù)dbserver，可以直接跳到步驟4
 
2.編譯gdbserver
編譯GDB源碼時(shí)只需要編譯出gdbserver就可以了，交叉編譯器自帶arm-linux-gdb(client端)可以使用。
gdb-6.7.1
# cd gdb-6.7.1/gdb/gdbserver/
#./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/work/install/gdbserver
#make
#make install
這時(shí)會(huì)在/work/install/gdbserver目錄下生成bin/gdbserver,將其拷貝到nfs文件系統(tǒng)
#cd /work/install/gdbserver
#cp bin/gdbserver /work/nfs/rootfs/bin
 
3.庫(kù)問題
這里需要注意的是運(yùn)行g(shù)dbserver還需要libthread_db庫(kù)，若你自己做的文件系統(tǒng)內(nèi)沒有這個(gè)庫(kù)的話需要從交叉編譯器內(nèi)拷一個(gè)過去。
# gdbserver -h (target)
gdbserver: error while loading shared libraries: libthread_db.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# cp -avf lib/libthread_db* /work/nfs/rootfs_bluetooth_omap/lib/
`/lib/libthread_db-1.0.so' -> `/work/nfs/rootfs/lib/libthread_db-1.0.so'
`/lib/libthread_db.so.1' -> `/work/nfs/rootfs/lib/libthread_db.so.1'
注：若不知道缺少什么庫(kù)可以根據(jù)運(yùn)行時(shí)錯(cuò)誤提示拷貝或者用先用strace跟蹤一下：
#strace -f -F -o strace.log gdbserver -h
#vi strace.log 
發(fā)現(xiàn)如下字段：
872   writev(2, [{"gdbserver", 9}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"libthread_db.so.1", 17}, {": ", 2}, {"cannot open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such file or directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10) = 126
872   exit_group(127)                   = ?
得知缺少libthread_db.so.1庫(kù)(紅色部分標(biāo)出)。
 
4.調(diào)試過程
1)Target端建立遠(yuǎn)程調(diào)試服務(wù)
# gdbserver 192.168.167.170:1234 obexftp (target)
Process obexftp created; pid = 858
Listening on port 1234
 
2)Host端GDB加載要調(diào)試的程序
這里要調(diào)試的程序得是交叉編譯過的，并且加了-g參數(shù)。不過大部分編譯程序默認(rèn)就是加了-g參數(shù)的，這點(diǎn)可以從編譯時(shí)的log看出。
# arm-linux-gdb obexftp

3)連接到目標(biāo)板調(diào)試服務(wù)
(gdb) target remote 192.168.167.15:1234
Remote debugging using 192.168.167.15:1234
Error while reading shared library symbols:
Dwarf Error: Can't read DWARF data from '/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/usr/lib/debug/lib/ld-2.5.90.so.debug'
0x400007a0 in _start () from /opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/lib/ld-linux.so.3
注：上面兩行錯(cuò)誤信息暫時(shí)不用管,原因還不清楚,但是暫時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)不影響使用。
連接成功后ARM板上的信息應(yīng)該是這樣的：
# ./gdbserver 192.168.0.29:1234 arm0702_8.out
Process arm0702_8.out created; pid = 228
Remote debugging from host 192.168.0.29  <----多出這一行
上面這行表示宿主機(jī)和開發(fā)板連接成功?，F(xiàn)在我們就可以在Host端像調(diào)試本地程序一樣調(diào)試ARM板上程序。不過，需要注意的是這里執(zhí)行程序要用“c”，不能用“r”。因?yàn)槌绦蛞呀?jīng)在Target Board上面由gdbserver啟動(dòng)了。

調(diào)試過程如下：
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x9870: file obexftp.c, line 376.
(gdb) info b
Num Type           Disp Enb Address    What
1   breakpoint     keep y   0x00009870 in main at obexftp.c:376
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/work/install/bluetooth//lib/libobexftp.so.0: No such file or directory.
Error while mapping shared library sections:
/work/install/bluetooth//lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directory.
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbed0dec4) at obexftp.c:384
384             if (strstr(argv[0], "ls") != NULL)      most_recent_cmd = 'l';
(gdb)
若產(chǎn)生這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤主要是由于該調(diào)試的應(yīng)用程序使用到了額外的庫(kù)，而這個(gè)庫(kù)在gdb默認(rèn)的搜索路徑內(nèi)沒有
（相對(duì)與遠(yuǎn)程調(diào)試,gdb默認(rèn)搜索的路徑即為交叉編譯器的庫(kù)路徑，下面我會(huì)介紹到）
因此，這里我們需要修改一下gdb默認(rèn)的共享庫(kù)搜索路徑。
修改的辦法是設(shè)置GDB的環(huán)境變量：
(gdb) show solib-absolute-prefix
The current system root is "/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target".
上面這個(gè)路徑即GDB默認(rèn)的絕對(duì)搜索路徑，即交叉編譯器庫(kù)路徑
(gdb) show solib-search-path
The search path for loading non-absolute shared library symbol files is .
(gdb) set solib-search-path /work/install/bluetooth/lib
這個(gè)路徑為若在solib-absolute-prefix指定的路徑內(nèi)沒有搜索到庫(kù)，則再繼續(xù)嘗試從該路徑進(jìn)行搜索。
這點(diǎn)倒有點(diǎn)類似于系統(tǒng)默認(rèn)庫(kù)搜索路徑與LD_LIBRARY_PATH的關(guān)系。
詳細(xì)參考GDB手冊(cè)中相關(guān)部分：
http://wiki./index.php/GDB_Manual_15_1

設(shè)置好solib-search-path后再運(yùn)行程序：
(gdb) set solib-search-path /work/install/bluetooth/lib/
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Error while reading shared library symbols:
Dwarf Error: Can't read DWARF data from '/opt/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/usr/lib/debug/lib/ld-2.5.90.so.debug'
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbe896eb4) at obexftp.c:384
384             if (strstr(argv[0], "ls") != NULL)      most_recent_cmd = 'l';
(gdb) l
379             char *output_file = NULL;
380             char *move_src = NULL;
381             /* char *inbox; */
382
383             /* preset mode of operation depending on our name */
384             if (strstr(argv[0], "ls") != NULL)      most_recent_cmd = 'l';
385             if (strstr(argv[0], "get") != NULL)     most_recent_cmd = 'g';
386             if (strstr(argv[0], "put") != NULL)     most_recent_cmd = 'p';
387             if (strstr(argv[0], "rm") != NULL)      most_recent_cmd = 'k';
388
(gdb)
運(yùn)行成功
 
 
注：使用GDB調(diào)試時(shí)查看代碼不是很方便。CLWEN使用VIM作為GDB前端界面，結(jié)合gdb的遠(yuǎn)程調(diào)試功能，動(dòng)態(tài)的將程序當(dāng)前運(yùn)行的代碼顯示在VIM上，查看起來(lái)十分方便。其遠(yuǎn)程調(diào)試方法和GDB+GDB Server一樣，但是多了一個(gè)GUI界面(VIM)。
