Should I also do any code change like invoking gdbstub_test function call somewhere in execution path in order to see the results?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Andy<br><br>> Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 06:31:12 +0000<br>> Subject: Re: [gPXE-devel] gdbstub_test.S<br>> From: stefanha@gmail.com<br>> To: andychen_ca@hotmail.com<br>> CC: gpxe-devel@etherboot.org<br>> <br>> On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 10:34 PM, Andy Chen <andychen_ca@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> > I'm very new in gpxe development and try to learn the coding structure to<br>> > see if I'm able to make contributions.<br>> ><br>> > I'm currently studying with remote debug functions and got stuck on<br>> > tests/gdbstub_test.S and tests/gdbstub_test.gdb.<br>> > Can some one kindly guide me how to compile and use it?<br>> <br>> Remote GDB debugging documentation is here:<br>> http://etherboot.org/wiki/dev/gdbstub.
