[SIS] Connecting to riscv-rtems6-sis via gdb

[Jan.Sommer at dlr.de]

Hello,

I tried to follow the example for using SIS, but use RISCV as the target platform instead of SPARC (https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/tools/tester.html#building-rtems-tests).
However, while I can run ticker.exe of the griscv BSP perfectly in SIS, the same application does not run when loaded through gdb.

I did 
$ riscv-rtems6-sis -gdb 
 SIS - SPARC/RISCV instruction simulator 2.26,  copyright Jiri Gaisler 2020

 RISCV/GRLIB emulation enabled, 1 cpus online, delta 50 clocks

gdb: listening on port 1234  connected
X40000000,0:#72  
<< No further output after executing "continue" in gdb >>

$ riscv-rtems6-gdb riscv-rtems6/griscv/testsuites/samples/ticker.exe

(gdb) c
Continuing.

If I run "riscv-rtems6-sis -r riscv-rtems6/griscv/testsuites/samples/ticker.exe" everything works like expected.
Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
