Hi,
Good to hear you got it to work. Regarding the size, please try switching to newlib-nano. It significantly reduces the size of your binary.
Hi,
You should be able to add a normal text file and rename it to .natvis manually.
If this does not help, can you archive the repro project and send it to us?
Hi,
You should be able to automate this command via the Additional GDB Commands in VisualGDB Project Properties, so there is no need to change anything on our side.
BTW, VisualGDB 5.1 supports a new fast semihosting mechanism that is based on the same technology as Live Variables. It uses a circular buffer inside your program to send semihosting output without stopping the program, resulting in much higher speeds. Please consider giving it a try (you will need to enable it on the Embedded Frameworks page).
Yes, that should help. Also VisualGDB 5.1 Preview 2 automatically verifies _estack by trying to write at _estack – 4 and check that the memory gets actually modified.
Hi,
Yes, the library should be suited for ARM devices. Furthermore, it should be compiled with the matching CPU type, ABI and floating point settings.
Please ask the vendor for a specific library for Raspberry Pi or the library sources so that you can build it yourself.
Hi,
Strange, we have never managed to reproduce that. Which version of the Segger software are you using?
Hi,
Then we would recommend asking the camera vendor for a C++ project example showing how to use their library. You can then import that example into a VisualGDB project and step through it to understand how it works.
Hi,
No worries, we’ll help you get it right.
First of all, please use just the function name without brackets (e.g. TestFunc, not TestFunc()). Then if it does not help, run “nm <library name>” without grep to see if the library symbols can be viewed at all.
If ‘nm’ does not provide reasonable output, you can also run “objdump -t <library name>” to list the symbols using another method.
You can also run “stat <library name>” to see the modification time of the library. If you are using the old version you should clearly see it from the modification time.
Remember, your code inside the library must actually call the TestFunc(), as otherwise it will be discarded by the linker as an unused function.”
If nothing helps, please share the output of the nm and objdump commands here.
Hi,
This error means that the SSH server simply drops the connection. The only way to diagnose this is to reproduce it on a simpler setup (1 machine, 1 project) and experiment with the SSH server settings to see what causes the error. Perhaps deploying a large file or trying to deploy several files sequentially causes the problem.
