Hi everyone, I porting or better trying to report GDB to the AmigaOS 4 PPC target (elf based). I already succeeded in (re)porting the binutils stuff, but I'm stuck with GDB. I have a working nat, which can create an inferior, set breakpoints,etc.. but because the target has a shared memory model, the inferior is not accessible at the vma addresses as specified in the elf format. Currently I'm trying to translate the vma addresses used by the gdb core to the physical address where the inferior ist loaded. I found in the source the method "set_gdbarch_has_shared_address_space" and "exec_set_action_address", with which I think I could tell the gdb core where the inferior is loaded, so that I don't need to translate the address, but until know I wasn't able to use them correctly. So can someone give me a hint how to realize that, or how gdb support such a target, or not? kind regards Max
