I need DC-Tool not DC-Load.

Post by **BlueCrab** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 7:27 pm

The dcload source package contains the entirety of the source to both dcload and dc-tool. Just compile and run

I don't think there are any precompiled sets of dc-tool, if that's what you were asking for.

iv compiled a cvs build of dctool and dcload as of todays 11/17/2005 with gcc 3.0.4 since thats the last version that iv seen that has libbfd installed
Now i need some testers

These were build under cygwin both serial and bba versions.
http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/files/dcloadip104.rar
http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/files/dcloadserial104.rar

both rars contain the dc-tool exe for cygwin under windows and the ip.bin and 1st_read.bin for dcload for both versions.

Here is a couple of dcload cdi image that havnt been tested yet, so beware of a coaster

never mind the cdi images, i tried the dcload-ip one and it just reboots my dreamcast, but this version of dc-tool-ip works with .elf files

Could someone build me a working image of dcload-ip please?

Here is a link to cygwin compiled sh-elf version of gdb.

if you want to easily build a selfboot image with any homebrew follow these steps:

MKISOFS -V CD_LABEL -l -o data.iso your_dir

(be sure to have IP.BIN and scrambled 1ST_READ.BIN in "your_dir")

then just use: BIN2BOOT data.iso /nohack

burn the .cdi and enjoy!

Sizious made some images for me , Im using the .cdi image.

Lyingawake figured out my problem was. The 1st_read.bin was unscrambled (duh)

so now i can do gdb over my bba

here is some instructions

ARP is used with this compile, right?

Smurph · Post by **Smurph** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 3:51 pm

I made an SBI, if anyone wants it.

GPF · Post by **GPF** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 4:57 pm

A little bump here...

So has anyone successfully done source-level debugging with the new versions of these tools yet? Perhaps even with an IDE like Dev-C++ or similar?

GPF · Post by **GPF** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 10:02 pm

yes I have used sh-elf-gdb.exe and insite debugger which is a windows gui frontend.

Has anyone had any problems with (or has tried) dctool-Serial 1.0.4? Each time I run it with parameters other than -x (-t and -b) it just sits at "Console Enabled".

Before, I was getting "invalid option --g" when trying to use the GDB server switch, but it turns out dctool wanted -g to be the first parameter (happened in both IP and Serial). I tried putting -x in the begining, but it still sits at "Console Enabled". It appears that dctool-IP works just fine though.

EDIT: Here's an error that seems to happen with dctool-IP and not dctool-Serial. It appears to do with uploading an ELF file since the error doesn't happen with BIN files.

It dropped a stackdump file and contains this:

I've got the same error, the v1.0.4's very buggy or it's my fault.

GPF, what's your windows frontend for GDB ? it's a "look and feel" DDD (for unix ?) but on win32 ? It works with DevCpp / Code::Blocks ? I'm just curious.

This seems to be what he's using (Insight, not Insite).
http://sourceware.org/insight/index.php

There's a little note for Cygwin users, though, I don't know if it still stands for the current version of Insight. Maybe GPF can shed a little light for those that wanna use it.

GPF · Post by **GPF** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 5:52 pm

i have no way of testing the serial version, I could have destroyed something just trying to get it compile

I usually use the commandline version of gdb. Iv compiled DDD but it just uses the sh-elf-gdb commandline tool, Iv compiled it for cygwin but its requires xwin stuff to be installed in cygwin and its difficult to get working if your not familiar with xwin stuff.

Someone else compiled insite for me, im not sure if its just using the sh-elf-gdb also, or if you have to configure it for a sh-elf.

I havent had any problems with the dc-tool-ip version with elf files yet though.

If your build is the one included with the 2nd release of LyingWake's Dev Environment, I'll let you know how it is.

The adventure program you sent me on IRC with GDB support is the one that's crashing dctool-IP. It doesn't crash dctool-Serial (I tested dctool-Serial by using only the -x switch with the ELF).

I also tried using the dumb terminal switch for dctool-Serial and also the no console switch, but they didn't help much. Basically the same freeze problem.
