Hi,

it all seems very quiet around here, but I will ask anyway :)

I have my development environment up and running on Ubuntu (VM), the 2d application included in the SDK compiles nicely.

How do you currently do debugging and transfers to the device ?

Is it possible to have step by step debugging.

Can i achieve any of the above without soldering :)

Thanks in advance.

there's a way to debug remotely using 'gdbserver'. i havent tried that by myself, because i'm also running ubuntu in a VM and the virtualbox's device mapping driver doesnt work for me (win7 64bit).

i copy to the device using the usb cable that is delivered with the wiz: plugging in, mount sd, copy, unmount sd on windows, unmount on wiz. works for me for quite a while now ;) someone wrote a utility that mounts/unmounts usb on the wiz without needing to unplug the cable ( http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,315 ) - but i'm a bit paranoid about bricking my wiz so short before the PACC ends, that also here: i didn't try.
 
You can use the GNU debugger: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/gp2x.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,1655

Copy it next to your binary and then use it via kermit: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,255
 
Thanks for the reply......

I might have the same problem then , as I am running Virtual Box on Windows 7 64 bit.

I might have a look at VMWare player instead, now you can create virtual machines with player its actually quite useful.

typically i find Vmware to be much more robust.

I quite fancy getting gdbserver running :)

Well i installed vmware , and have re-built my ubunutu installation and got the dev environment working.

I have complied the code that was in the dev kit (2d sample).

I get a screen full of garbage when I execute on the device lol.

Has anybody else got this working from the official SDK , let me know if you have.

I will continue to investigate.
