That's my understanding of ETM/ETB as well... It's something you turn to when normal debugging means don't give you answers effectively anymore. The problem is that you also then need to invest in learning a new skillset to solve a specific bug. The nice thing about hooking ETM/ETB up to GDB would be that you could use your existing skills & tools to view the ETM/ETB data. -- Øyvind Harboe US toll free 1-866-980-3434 / International +47 51 63 25 00 http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html ARM7 ARM9 ARM11 XScale Cortex JTAG debugger and flash programmer _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
