[Mspgcc-users] Lots not working with GDB

[John Glendenning]

 Hi

I'm re-posting this message because I didn't get any responses the 1st 
time. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

I am a new user of msp430-GDB. I have downloaded the latest source file, 
i.e. "mspgcc-20040723.exe" and installed it under Windows 2000. I have a 
simple application, example follows,

 main()
 {
   while(1) {
     .. do some stuff
     my_function();
   }
 }

Then in another file I have my_function() declared. If I type "adv 
my_function", the application runs and stops at the first line of 
my_function. If I then type "adv +1". The function runs to completion, goes 
back to main and finally ends up stopping back on the first line of 
my_function. There are lots of other commands not working properly either. 
For example "backtrace" is not showing me the stack frames. finish is not 
completing the current function. I have compiled the application with "-g" 
option.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
John
