Problems debugging

I am trying to resolve the exception I receive (see my post http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=76524#76418). I have setup the PSPLINK and all the other stuff needed. However I cannot seem to get debugger running the target.

usbhostfs_pc is up and running. in pspsh I load my PRX:

Code: Select all

host1&#58;/> debug test_init.prx
PSPLink USB GDBServer &#40;c&#41; 2k7 TyRaNiD
host1&#58;/> Loaded host1&#58;/test_init.prx - UID 0x04845655, Entry 0x088040AC

host1&#58;/>

I start psp-gdb with test_init.elf and then:

&#40;gdb&#41;

What is the problem? I just want to run till a breakpoint to pinpoint the exception source...

you use continue (the c command)

TyRaNiD,

thanx for the info - I feel like a complete idiot. I am quite a newbie with Linux debugging tools and I'd swear I saw somewhere I need to 'run' the thing. With your advice I managed it to run (actually I use ddd with psp-gdb) and am approaching the problem spot. It seems to access some array at index of -1 in pthreads-emb ;-) Now to only find why...
