Hm, correct me if I'm wrong: I investigated a bit and I'm afraid that the OpenOCD has an easy access to symbols, but the symbols won't help me to get an offset of a field in a structure. One would need either to also get the debug info into OpenOCD or a way to ask the gdb to evaluate a command, which is not supported and the idea was frowned upon some time ago - see the thread at http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2008-10/msg00011.html eCos folks: would it be an idea to add a few extra symbols to the scheduler exporting the neded information for the OpenOCD? I'm probably going to implement it anyway, but it would be nice to get the patches accepted into both eCos and OpenOCD.
