Implement gem5/src/arch/mips/remote_gdb.cc.
So a mips-cross-gdb can connect with gem5(MIPS_SE), and do some remote debugging.
Build gem5 for MIPS_SE and make gem5 wait at beginning:
modify "rgdb_wait = -1" to "rgdb_wait = 0" in src/sim/system.cc;
scons build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt CPU_MODELS=O3CPU
----
Build GDB-7.3 mips-cross:
./configure --target=mips-linux-gnu --prefix=xxx/gdb-7.3-install/
make
make install
----
Run:
./build/MIPS_SE/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py --detailed --caches
./mips-linux-gnu-gdb xxx/gem5/tests/test-progs/hello/bin/mips/linux/hello
(gdb) target remote :7000
(gdb) info registers
(gdb) disassemble
(gdb) si
(gdb) break main
(gdb) c
(gdb) quit
Testing done.
