As a debugger, GDB is a veritable Swiss Army knife. And just like exploring all of the non-obvious uses of a those knives, your initial response to the scope of GDB’s feature set is likely to… ...

file – tell GDB which file to use for debugging (I passed this as an argument when launching GDB) load – flash the binary onto the chip (doesn’t work for me with the STM32F0Discovery board) ...

Debugging and profiling are critical skills in a developer's toolbox, especially when working with low-level system applications. Whether you're tracking down a segmentation fault in a C program or ...

Happily, GDB is widely available for embedded devices because it is easy to cross-compile and supports a wide range of target architectures. And with the recent integration of Python scripting support ...

Visual Studio can now be used to remotely debug Linux applications using the GDB debugger. The Visual Studio Code editor that Microsoft released for Linux earlier this year was also open-sourced.

DSF is designed to improve the interface to remote debug targets and to expose more of the hardware. Further, it’s designed to make improvements for features such as multicore debugging easier ...

BugOff requires Mac OS X v10.2 “Jaguar” or later, PRC-Tools 2.3 for Palm debugging, the Palm OS Emulator (POSE), and gdb for Mac debugging. Macworld is your best source for all things Apple.

The usb2Demon JTAG/BDM (Background Debug Mode) emulator from Macraigor Systems can clock 32- and 64-bit targets at speeds up to 24 MHz. This takes advantage of the usb2Demon's USB 2.0 connection.

Getting even closer to the hardware are the Intel JTAG Debugger and GDB Debugger modules, which can display register descriptions of the CPU, SoC and chipsets.
