[SOLVED] RTOS plugin initialization failed.

serg_kol · Jun 13th 2017, 2:54pm

I am trying to use the FreeRTOS plugin with the GDBServerCL.
I can only see one thread in Eclipse, and there is the following line in the GDBServer log: RTOS plugin initialization failed.

My setup:
IDE - Eclipse Neon.3 v4.6.3 running on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Debugger - arm-none-eabi-gdb running on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
GDBServer - GDBServerCL v6.16b running on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit.
FreeRTOS v9.0.0
Target CPU - ARM Cortex-R5

GDBServer log file is attached.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

the FreeRTOS plugin is currently not tested with the Cortex-R CPU and therefore refuses to work with other cores than Cortex-M.

What device and IDE are you using?

Best regards,
Arne

Hello Arne,
Thank you for your fast reply!
The IDE I am using is Eclipse Neon.3 v4.6.3 running on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
The device is a custom SOC with an ARM Cortex-R5 CPU.

Is there any workaround for this issue?

Thanks!

Hello,

you can write the plugin by yourself, we offer a SDK for that purpose.

J-Link GDB Server RTOS plug-in SDK

I had a quick look at the port for Cortex-R. As it uses a different method to save the task context, the plugin for Cortex-M will not work.

Best regards,
Arne
