Is CDT Build Console the same as the gdb (arm-none-eabi) console?

Hi,

I'm following a tutorial on mcuoneclipse and they use gdb (arm-none-eabi) console.

In Kinetis Design Studio I only have CDT Build Console and CDT Global Build Console. Will these work the same way?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

The CDT debugger uses GDB as the underlying debug engine. It translates each user interface action into a sequence of GDB commands and processes the output from GDB to display the current state of the program being debugged.

Have a great day,

Hi Christopher,

in Eclipse, each subsystem can define and use its own 'sub console' for output. For the build (make) system, the two consoles you mention are used. The GDB consoles only show up when you start a debug sessions.
