[Valgrind-users] Valgrind crash on Texas Instrument AM3352 (armv7le) and QNX

[Cédric P. <cp...@se...>]

Hi Valgrind community,

I have 2 different boards running QNX 6.5 and mounting the exact same file system.
One board is based on an NXP iMX53 SoC and the other one on a Texas Instrument AM3352.
Since both SoC share the same instruction set (Cortex A8 - amv7le), they can run the same binaries.

However, whereas Valgrind 3.10.1 is working perfectly on the iMX53, it crashes on the AM3352 :

pendant:/bin>/usr/bin/valgrind --tool=memcheck --allow-mismatched-debuginfo=yes --extra-debuginfo-path=/usr/lib/debug/ echo

Memory fault

It always crashes the same way, whatever the binary I analyse.

I am clueless, I don't understand how it can work on iMX53 and fail on AM3352 with the same file system (same binaries, same libs, same scripts, same conf ...).
Does somebody have an idea ?

Best regards,

Cédric
