  • How to create .gdb file for debugging?

    Hello,

    I am using eclipse for debugging my application on Atmel ARM AT91SAM7X256 with SEGGER SAM-ICE Jtag debugger and J-link.

    I have used the link for starting debug yagarto.de/howto/jlink/index.html
    This link gives the demo program which they have used for debug.
    The demo program has .gdb file which is needed for debugging.

    Can anybody tell me how do I create a .gdb file for my application?

    Thanks,
    Mangesh Kathale.

  • Hi Mangesh,

    the content of your .gdb file depends on what you want to do in your debug session.
    The J-Link software and documentation package comes with some sample projects in order to get an impression how to work with GDB + GDB Server.
    The sample projects can be found at $JLINK_INST_DIR$\Samples\GDB\Projects
    These projects also come with gdb init files.

    To get more information about what can be done in gdb init files, please have a look into UM08005, chapter "Debugging with GDB"


    Best regards
    Alex
