How to debug using PSPLink + GDB on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Setup
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
1) copy the /pspsdk/psplink/psp/oe/psplink/ folder to your psp unit into PSP/GAME/PSPLINK/
|
||||
2) get yourself a HEN installed so that PSPLINK will run - I personally downgraded to 6.20 & installed the TN-HEN.
|
||||
3) get & install the latest libusb drivers (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/),
|
||||
I'm using currently v1.2.2. Note: DON'T use the ones that are in the drivers subfolder in the pspsdk package, as
|
||||
they're old and definitely don't work with newer OS version (ie Win7).
|
||||
4) (specific to wagic debugging) make sure that a copy of wagic.prx and wagic.elf are copied into your
|
||||
wagic's /bin/ folder!
|
||||
|
||||
Connecting
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
1) Open up a command window, and type 'cd <path_to_wagic's_bin_folder>' to change your current root location.
|
||||
2) Type usbhostfs_pc <enter>, you should get the following:
|
||||
|
||||
D:\dev\wagic\projects\mtg\bin>usbhostfs_pc
|
||||
USBHostFS (c) TyRaNiD 2k6

||||

|
||||
sh>
|
||||
|
||||
3) type pwd <enter>, and confirm that the system points to your /bin/ folder, ie:
|
||||
|
||||
sh> pwd
|
||||
/cygdrive/d/dev/wagic/projects/mtg/bin
|
||||
sh>
|
||||
|
||||
4) On your PSP, launch your HEN (if you haven't already), and launch the PSPLINK util (3.0 OE version). Tether your psp via USB
|
||||
to your computer if you haven't already done so. You should see the command window indicate 'Connected to device';
|
||||
if it doesn't, check your usb lib driver installation.
|
||||
|
||||
5) Open a second command window, and run the command 'pspsh'. You should see it prompt you with 'host0:/> in your
|
||||
new window; in the other command window, it'll show something like 'Accepting async connection (x) from 127.0.0.1'.
|
||||
This window is your psp control window, for lack of a better term. If you run 'ls', you should see it list all the files
|
||||
local to your wagic's /bin/ folder.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, you can run your local drive's copy of wagic simply by running './wagic.prx' in this window;
|
||||
in our case, since we're starting a debug session, simply run 'debug ./wagic.prx'. You'll get something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
host0:/> debug ./wagic.prx
|
||||
PSPLink USB GDBServer (c) 2k7 TyRaNiD
|
||||
host0:/> Loaded host0:/wagic.prx - UID 0x0489641B, Entry 0x088040AC
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
6a) debugging with GDB, console style... (I personally recommend using an IDE as described in 6b), but your choice)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Open a third console window - this one will be used to run GDB for debugging. In this console window, run:
|
||||
'cd <path_to_wagic's_bin_folder>'
|
||||
psp-gdb wagic.elf (yes, note that we call out the elf file here, not the prx.)
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be prompted with a (gdb) prompt. Now run the following to start a remote debug session:
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) target remote :10001
|
||||
|
||||
This should prompt another 'Accepting async connection (1) from 127.0.0.1 in the usbhostfs_pc window.
|
||||
|
||||
You're now ready to start debugging. Type 'c' or 'continue' to start the execution of the program.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6b) debugging with an IDE
|
||||
There might be other IDEs that support GDB, but this is the only one that I managed to get working in short order. (Eclipse was too problematic, although I hear others have made it work.)
|
||||
|
||||
- Download & install Code::Blocks for your platform.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the following tutorial on how to set up Code::Blocks to debug with the psp toolkit.

||||
*Note: line 12 of the debugging section has a typo - the port should be 10001, not 1001.
