[OpenOCD-user] Address translation failure while using openocd/gdb load command

[Sholla <hol...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have setup openocd-0.9.0 with jlink jtag and cross gdb 7.9.1 on Atmel
9260 board. With this setup I am able to put breakpoints in the linux
 kernel (2.6.32.67) and single step the code.

Now I am trying to load and step through a simple 'helloworld' program
on the target board.  After starting the openocd server, I use the
 following gdb commands .

    1. start cross gdb with 'helloworld' elf file
    2. set solib-absolute-prefix  /mnt/builds/rootfs
    3. target remote :3333
    4. load helloworld


But loading fails in gdb and at that moment
there is an "Address translation failure" message in openocd logs.

Can you please let me know how to overcome this issue ?
