/** @page bugs Bug Reporting
|
|
|
|
Please report bugs by subscribing to the OpenOCD mailing list and
|
|
posting a message with your report:
|
|
|
|
openocd-development@lists.berlios.de
|
|
|
|
To minimize work for OpenOCD developers, you should try to include
|
|
all of the information listed below. If you feel that some of the
|
|
items below are unnecessary for a clear bug report, you may leave
|
|
them out; likewise, feel free to include additional information
|
|
that may be important.
|
|
|
|
- Target PCB/board description
|
|
- Configuration scripts
|
|
- OpenOCD command line
|
|
- List of commands issued or GDB operations performed
|
|
- Expected result
|
|
- Actual result
|
|
- Logs using <code>debug_level 3</code> (or with '-d 3' on the command line)
|
|
- If the report is for a regression:
|
|
- Include logs for both working and broken versions.
|
|
- Find the precise version that caused the regression by binary search.
|
|
You can use "git bisect" to expedite this binary search:
|
|
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html
|
|
|
|
If possible, please develop and attach a patch that helps to expose or
|
|
solve the reported problem. See the PATCHES file for more information
|
|
for that process.
|
|
|
|
Attach all files directly to your posting. The mailing list knows to
|
|
transform attachments to links, but attachments must be less than 300KB
|
|
in total.

@section bugscrashdump Obtaining Crash Backtraces
|
|
|
|
If OpenOCD is crashing, there are two very effective things you can do to
|
|
improve your chances of getting help on the development mailing list.
|
|
|
|
Try to reproduce the problem using the dummy JTAG interface to allow other developers to replicate
|
|
your problem robustly and use GDB to get a trace:@par
|
|
@code
|
|
% OPENOCDSRC/configure --enable-dummy ...
|
|
% openocd -f interface/dummy.cfg -f target/xxx.cfg
|
|
=> SEGFAULT
|
|
% gdb --args openocd ....
|
|
(gdb) run
|
|
(gdb) bt
|
|
=> here a stack trace is dumped.
|
|
@endcode
|
|
|
|
@section bugsintreedebug Running and Debugging In-Tree
|
|
|
|
To run or debug the in-tree executable (not recommended), you must
|
|
use libtool to set up the correct shared library paths:
|
|
@code
|
|
libtool gdb --args openocd ....
|
|
@endcode
|
|
or the more pedantic (and forward-compatible):
|
|
@code
|
|
libtool --mode=execute gdb --args openocd ....
|
|
@endcode
