[Openocd-development] gdb server stepping

[Spen <sp...@sp...>]

Øyvind,

One thing i have noticed with later versions of openocd is that every time
you step with gdb/insight a message is sent to the console window.
it is worse in insight because the console window will be shown on every
step.

for example a single step:

target state: halted
target halted due to single-step, current mode: Thread 
xPSR: 0x21000000 pc: 0x08000108
target state: halted
target halted due to single-step, current mode: Thread 
xPSR: 0x61000000 pc: 0x0800010a
target state: halted
target halted due to single-step, current mode: Thread 
xPSR: 0x61000000 pc: 0x0800010c

This is not really desired behaviour or the original intention - not sure
when it appeared.
I have had a quick look through the code but the behaviour of gdb_con->busy
has changed somewhat, so what it does now i am not sure.

also just noticed that we get the following after issuing a gdb 'monitor
help'
Warning:BUG: keep_alive() was not invoked in the 1000ms timelimit. GDB alive
packet not sent! (2032)
also had a quick look but i think all this help stuff is tcl now - so unsure
how all this works now.

Cheers
Spen
