Hi,

i downloaded a bootstrap and a binary from atmels sampels (AT91SAM9RLEK - getting started) to my board which works.
To debug:
i run the segger gdbserver which is running at localhost:2331
then i open a console and write
arm-none-eabi-gdb
<gdb> target remote localhost:2331
Connected to 127.0.0.1

SAM-ICE found !

Reading all registers
Read 4 bytes @ address 0x00000000 (Data = 0xE59FF05C)

Remote debugging using localhost:2331
0x00000000 in ?? ()
<gdb> break main
No symbol table is loaded use the file command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? n
<gdb> continue
continuing
Read 4 bytes @ address 0x00000000 (Data = 0xE59FF05C)
Starting target CPU...

and nothing happens.

Hi,

to get an idea what is necessary to setup a debug session with GDB,
you should refer to the GDB sample projects which come with the J-Link software and documentation package.
The GDB sample projects are located at $JLINK_INST_DIR$\Samples\GDB\Projects.
Every project comes with a GDBInit file (*.gdb) which is located in the "Setup" folder of the project.
The GDBinit files contain all necessary steps to setup GDB for the debug session.

Best regards
Alex
