Question

I am trying the walking-through example in CUDA-GDB manual, and follow exactly the same compilation command. I am using CUDA-4 on Fermi M2090, and CUDA-GDB failed with the following message when I type "run" under GDB environment:

/home/buildmeister/build/rel/gpgpu/toolkit/r4.1/debugger/cuda-gdb/7.2/gdb/cuda-tdep.c:1203: internal-error: cuda_get_bfd_abi_version: Assertion `CUDA_ELFOSABIV_16BIT <= abiv && abiv <= CUDA_ELFOSABIV_LATEST' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Was it helpful?

Solution

I have experienced same problem. (Kepler architecture, ubuntu 13.04) I have done some research and found out this link.

The problem occurs because of your driver version is higher than your toolkit version. Your toolkit isn't able to recognize your driver. I have solved this problem by installing Cuda-Toolkit-5.5 (Release Candidate) and display driver from the same self extracting package.

I have done this because it is almost impossible to install cuda toolkit 5.0 on a kernel 3.8+.

You can find the instructions here on my blog page.
