     42--- Using GDB Commands
     43
     44As described load the commands into GDB. You can use the command line used to invoke GDB, the GDB command or they can be placed in a GDB script. There currently is no standard to keep this script so I have placed it in my FTP area on the RTEMS FTP server. The link it:

     52You will typically come to this page when you have a problem with an application or driver and you are struggling to find a solution. I had one such problem just recently. I had a mutex that once a task blocked on all tasks at the same priority or lower stopping running except IDLE. The {{{rtems_check_state</code> showed IDLE was not at its normal priority and a priority inversion bug relating to creating locked semaphores was shown to be problem. So first run this command to make sure you are not doing something that is know about.
