Is there anyway to use GDB to debug network driver objects?

Thanks in advance.

Yep - just attach gdb to the running io-net process and setup the gdb paths
to load the symbols from the correct shared libraries.

Chris,

Is there any way to do this using CodeWarrior? I’ve tried the obvious of
telling CW that this is a debug object but when I try to debug the
driver (via a serial line) CW tell me that I cannot debug a shared
library.

You have now gone beyond my area. :slight_smile: I have never even used CodeWarrior,
how ever I expect that you just want to debug io-net since your code will
be loaded and the CW debugger should just resolve the symbol data from
your .so “magically”.
