Message: 49576 please review the man page for gdbserver ... it explains the syntax, as does `gdbserver --help`

Hi Mike ,

As the documention explains , the attach command syntax is : attatch pid , but I want to attach to the running remote process in the blackfin target board . Therefore ,has any approach to realize it ?

Thanks .

Message: 49583 i really dont understand what the problem is

gdbserver runs *on the board*

you want to attach to a process *on the board*

so, follow the documentation and execute gdbserver on the board like normal

if you need help with remote debugging, please consult the wiki page:

Sorry, I can't explain my problem clearly. I develop my application with mulit-thread mechanism on blackfin platform. Of course , I m used to find the debugs out through gdb-server ,but sometimes I want to observe my application 's status after running a long times sush as 1 week , 2 weeks and so on, but gdb-server can't continue running if I detach Host GDB and I can't debug my application again which runs for a long time through host-gdb. Do you have good suggestion ?

Message: 49706 I think you have been explaining things clearly.

I think Mike has been answering as well as he can.

Go read the man page for gdbserver. It should say something like:

gdbserver tty --attach PID

Did you try that?
