Public bug reported: This is a known bug in the 0.4 version of OpenOCD.
The bug was first reported and then fixed by Matthias Bode, as can be seen here: http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd- development/2010-May/015571.html To reproduce the bug: 1) Start openocd (type "openocd -f interface/luminary.cfg" in a terminal) 2) Run the attached tcl program "client.tcl" (based on a snippet posted by Charles Hardin, the original tcl_server openocd patch author) by issuing in an other terminal: tclsh client.tcl. 3) Now type in any openocd command at the prompt, for example: reset, then press enter. 4) In the terminal where openocd was initiated, you will read something like: Info : accepting 'tcl' connection from 0 #(when starting client.tcl) Segmentation fault error #(after sending TCP/IP message from client.tcl) Test program (client.tcl) and backtrace from gdb are included for completeness. Fix: update package to latest code available via git (I compiled my own and it does not crash. ** Affects: openocd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804603 Title: OpenOCD 0.4 in Natty crashes when communicating via tcl_port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openocd/+bug/804603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
