|
|
|

|
|
<p>Since debugging an AVR program with gdb requires gdb to connect to a
|
||
|
|
remote target (either simulavr or some other debugging tool, such as
|
||
|
|
avarice), a series of commands must be issued every time gdb is started.
|
||
|
|
The easiest way around this is to put the commands into a
|
||
|
|
‘<tt>.gdbinit</tt>’ file in the project directory. The following example is
|
||
|
|
from a ‘<tt>.gdbinit</tt>’ which I use for many projects.
|
||
|
|
</p>

## Print out structures in a sane way
|

|
|
|

|
|
echo (gdb) set print pretty
|
||
|
|
set print pretty
|

## Use this for debugging the remote protocol. (Don't use unless

## debugging simulavr or avr-gdb)

#echo (gdb) set debug remote 1\n
|

|
|
#set debug remote 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## If you don't want specify the program to debug when invoking gdb,
|
||
|
|
## you can tell gdb to read it in here. The file should be an elf file
|
||
|
|
## compiled with debugging information (-g for C files and -gstabs for
|
||
|
|
## asm files).
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
#echo (gdb) file myprog.elf\n
|

## Connect to the remote target via a TCP socket on host:port.

## If you are using simulavr as the remote target, this will upload
|
||
|
|
## the program into flash memory for you.
|
||
|
|

echo (gdb) load\n
|

load

## Set a break point at the beginning of main().

|
|
||
|
|
echo (gdb) break main\n
|
||
|
|
break main
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Run the program up to the first break point. Gdb's `run` command
|
||
|
|
## does not work when using a remote target, must use continue.
|
||
|
|
|

echo (gdb) continue\n

continue

<p>As you can see, I <code>echo</code> every command so I can see what gdb has
|
||
|
|
done when it runs the commands in the ‘<tt>.gdbinit</tt>’ file.
