Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Source level debug for Microblaze in Xilinx FPGA.

[John Williams <jwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Leonid,

What are you trying to do?  debug u-boot?

It's just like any standalone EDK application.  To debug it, run XMD on 
your host and connect via JTAG/MDM to the MicroBlaze, then run mb-gdb 
connecting to localhost:1234

I'm not sure why there are no debugging symbols in there - does 
mb-objdump -h on the u-boot elf image show "stabs" debugging sections?

Regards,

John
