Hi,
I am using eclipse 3.2 for debugging an ARM based platform, AT91SAM9263.
The tool chain used is YAGARTO. I am doing the target debugging with ATMEL
SAM ICE, which is connected to the target(AT91SAM9263) via JTAG interface.
While going through the C code step by step, each 'stepping' is taking
around 7-8 seconds and also, often, the debugger is getting hanged. Also,
processor the frequency displayed in the Jlink GDB Server is 5KHz.
Why is it that the debugger is performing slow, or is it the maximum that
I can get out of a debugger using Eclipse. Please give me some
documentations which will help me do a better debugging in Eclipse 3.2,
using SAM ICE. I have also made sure that the hardware connections(JTAG
interface) are correct.
I am getting a better performance (in terms of debugging speed) when I use
a ARM7 based evaluation board from ATMEL. In the latter case, the
frequency displayed in JLink GDB Server is 1000 KHz.
