Hi stuart

When I am running gdb on the target board with command
./gdb application_name

I am getting following error:
./gdb: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Actually sumthing like this should come:

Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Instead it is throwing an error. What could be the reason for this?

Regards,
Neha

Hi Neha,

It looks like you have nothing selected within gdb to build.  Run:

./ltib -m config

and make sure you have these selected:

          [*] gdb
          [ ]   gdb to run natively on the target 
          [*]   cross gdb (runs on build machine)
          [*]   gdbserver to run natively on the target

Regards, Stuart
