Question

Where can documentation be found for the features of GDB, and the debugging process, specific to debugging of Cell Linux programs mixing PPU and SPU code?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Documents at the IBM developerWorks site for Cell can be found here: Cell @developerWorks

You sound like you'd want the Programmer's Guide, which goes through debugging Cell applications.

Edit to add sample topics:

  • Chapter 3. Debugging Cell BE applications
    • ...
    • Debugging PPE code
    • Debugging SPE code
    • ...
    • Debugging in the Cell BE environment
    • Debugging multithreaded code
    • Debugging architecture
    • Switching architectures within a single thread
    • ...
    • Using the combined debugger
    • ...
