How do I get gdbserver for FreeBSD 5.4?

2005-12-28 Thread Paul Marciano
Hello, I hope someone can help me. I am using FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE and would like to use gdbserver, but I can't find it. The source tree has gdbserver in two places: /usr/src/contrib/gdb/gdb/gdbserver and /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdbserver There's also a gdb6 in /usr/ports/devel. The inst

Is remote gdb debugging supported on FreeBSD-5.4?

2006-01-03 Thread Paul Marciano
I have a need to remotely debug an application on a remote FreeBSD-5.4 machine that is devoid of utilities and source code. I previously asked a question about gdbserver, but it looks like it's not available so I'll ask the more general question. I could login in to the remote machine, mount a s

Does FreeBSD support sparse kernel crash dumps?

2006-04-07 Thread Paul Marciano
Hello. I read a while back about someone working on supporting sparse kernel crash dumps (dumping only the active kernel pages to the dump device as opposed to all physical memory - for machines where the phys mem is greater than the dump dev space.) Does anyone know the status of that project?

5.4-RELEASE reset with /boot.config -m

2005-12-06 Thread Paul Marciano
I wonder if someone can help me. I want to run my 5.4-RELEASE system with a serial console and muted cons. My /boot.config is: -h -m The system loads the kernel but during startup the PC resets. No messages, just a reset. If I use -h by itself it is fine. If I use -m by itself it similarly

Will USB serial ever be fixed?

2005-09-09 Thread Paul Marciano
I have a general question on the status of USB to serial support in FreeBSD (specifically the ucom and ftdi drivers). I need an extra serial port on my system and for reasons outside the scope of this email I can't just plug in a PCI card. I'm trying to use USB, but it seems that ucom is broken

Question regarding bus_dma_tag_create() .

2006-05-06 Thread Paul Marciano
Hi. The man page for bus_dma_map_create() says this about the "nsegments" parameter: Number of discontinuities (scatter/gather seg- ments) allowed in a DMA mapped region. If there is no restriction, BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED may be specified. BUS_SPACE_UNRESTRICTED is #defined as (~0). Then, in
