[lldb-dev] did anyone konw LLDB support lldb + openocd to run dotest.py in bare board like ARM or other non-x86 architecture?

Hi 
I don’t launch lldb-server which already debugging a program, just use "lldb-server platform —listen *:3333 —server” on Qemu armhf for Debian 6.0

If you are launching your lldb-server and it is already debugging a program you don't use "process launch", you use "process attach" if you are connected to your platform. 

It isn't recommended to use "remote-gdb-server" platform directly. "remote-linux" uses "remote-gdb-server" underneath it, but it also overrides a bunch of other platform functions that you need in order to debug correctly. So use "remote-linux".

I guess 2 ways of remote debugging:
“remote-linux” platform with process attach instead of process launch
“remote-gdb-server” platform with process launch.
As I understood, both of them use lldb-server.

To execute tests remotely you may run dotest.py with according options (platform-name and platfrom-url).

As for openocd and other gdb servers, there is no way to use them for remote testing. I haven’t found, at least.

Thanks,

Hi 

              You mean should use “platform select remote-linux” ? I use it but also report error: unable to launch a GDB server on 'debian-armhf.""'

              in-addition, you said gdb-server is “GNU GDB server” or just lldb-server services ?

It seems that ‘process launch’ tries to launch gdb-server that is already started manually, try to attach instead.

I also met ‘remote-gdb-server’ platform, maybe it fits your goal better? Didn’t you try to do something like this?
dotest.py --platform-name=remote-gdb-server --platfrom-url=connect://hostname:port --arch=architecture ...

     i show host and port is uncorrect, is it a bug?

Hi

    sorry， i'm confuse, in my mind, lldb-server maybe like gdb-server, running on Linux-like platform  listening RSP command which send form gdb and use ptrace syscall to debug which you want to debug program

    is it support remote download to batch mode run all testsuite? certainly i think reset baseboard is very important feature too,  but in lldb-server maybe not support currently i guess.

Yes lldb-server does support a full connection to a remote OS. On baseboards you are typically debugging the entire OS so lldb-server won't work because you have to OS to run it in the background. Supporting the test suite on baseboards will take some effort.

We run the test suite on iOS devices using the platform stuff. This requires a running lldb-server on the remote system, so we only have the test suite running when we have the lldb-server running in platform mode on the other side. For this to work with baseboards, we would need the JTAG box to respond to many GDB remote protocol packets that "lldb-server platform" implements. I am sure for baseboards the test suite would need to be modified. A few ideas there:
- Have the test suite watch for a triple with no os (like "arm64-none-none") and have it go into a baseboard mode
- Many tests that might rely on writing to files, reading from files for stdin, and others, would need to be skipped in this mode
- Any tests that build and debug shared libraries would either need to be modified to build multiple static binaries or skipped
- We might need to make a Bareboard platform and would load the ELF files into memory instead of copying them over like the current platforms do

So there would be quite a lot of modifications required to get the test suite running. We will be happy to help you if you choose to try this.
