Hi Luca,

Which version of the Macros are you using?
Make sure you are using the latest ones from the rtems wiki.

Also I have found in the past you need to use the command line
version of gdb to debug the macros, if you use a GUI/IDE interface
such as insight or emacs it hides error messages from you which
makes it difficult to debug the problem(s).

Regards

Paul
