I should have added that the student also needs to type gdb> backtrace to get a full backtrace. a full backtrace will be more informative. racket segfaults always end in with a SIGABRT due to our custom use of the SIGSEGV handler. So the stack below is typical of segfaults. On 10/07/2010 04

I've found "qemu" to be a godsend for systems work, though very slow compared to real metal, unless you're using virtualization extensions like KVM. I don't know how ARM "qemu" hosted on fast non-ARM hardware compares to native on typical ARM hardware, but I'm not too optimistic about that unt

Some time ago Jay asked if anyone had a hardware suggestion for an ARM PC. I don't think anyone answered; in my case that was because there wasn't a capable device that I knew of. The Pandaboard -- http://pandaboard.org/ -- which is supposed to start shipping this month looks like it might be viabl
