Re: [Qemu-ppc] Enabling Debugging?

[Jd Lyons]

Finally got gdb to run, you don’t want to ask what you have to do on MacOS Sierra to enable gdb, I’m think of giving up the Mac OS if this continues.

Now when I launch qemu-system-ppc and type run, it opens, but hangs before Openbios loads. So, I’m still doing something wrong.

Do I need to set a breakpoint?

I’ve never had this much trouble running gdb, even tho I don’t really know what I’m doing, I can usually find the offending code that is making the program I’m trying to debug hang, or crash.

Any help would be appreciated.
