Using Skyeye & GDB to debug software for ARM microprocessor

This video explains how to use skyeye in conjunction with gdb to simulate and debug the software meant for ARM.
I use emacs because it lets me do everything without changing to anything else. However it is not compulsory to do so. You can use your favorite editor and terminal.

hi, nice video. Can you put the linker script here, cause you didnt show in the video? I guess its just for setting the .text section in the first bank of RAM memory but still it could be nice to see it :) Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the comment. I am having a really short linker script, as you said, just for the .text section: OUTPUT_ARCH(arm) ENTRY(begin) SECTIONS { . = 0x1000000; .text : { *(.text) *(.rodata) } . = ALIGN(8192); }

Very good, I will try to ask friend to make chinese translation and post it to chinese website as well.

Thanks for your praise. Can you or your friend do a favor? Most of the documentation on Skyeye is in Chinese. Can you translate it into english? This will help us all use Skyeye in a better way. The developers are already doing so, but they won't refuse help.

You may try to give me a link. I will try to translate to estimate how hard it is to translate Chinese to English.
