MCUXpresso IDE Gdb Client Address Change

blogcin — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 04:34:27 GMT

MCUXpresso's J-Link Remote debugging is run JLinkGDBServer on client environment to connect remote server.

[JLink] [Server] [Client]
JLink <-> (JLinkRemoteServer) <-> (JLinkGDBServer) <-> Gdb

so I think In poor environment, it is too heavy.

I change "org.eclipse.cdt.debug.gdbjtag.core.ipAddress " value through text editor in "Projectname.launch" file. then I don't need run JLinkGDBServer in client environment.

Is there any method to change gdb client address in MCUXpresso? (not port)

MCUXpresso menus are available only for change port.
(Debug Configurations... -> JLink Debugger -> GDB Client Settings)

Hi @blogcin

You can edit the IP Address of the J-Link server in the launch config, see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2019/03/02/remote-debugging-with-usb-based-jtag-swd-debug-probes/

In case you want to use IP tunneling mode, then https://mcuoneclipse.com/2017/02/05/remote-board-debugging-j-link-remote-server-with-eclipse/ is what you are looking for.

And if your remote debugging probe is USB based, then you can use this: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2019/03/02/remote-debugging-with-usb-based-jtag-swd-debug-probes/

I hope this helps,

Erich

Thanks for your reply. @ErichStyger

I already set J-Link Remote address in my MCUXpresso. (v11.2.1)
but when do debug, gdb trying to connect gdbserver from localhost, not remote address.
That is a problem what trying to connect gdb server from localhost when isn't turn on "start server" in debug option.

when I change "org.eclipse.cdt.debug.gdbjtag.core.ipAddress " in ".launch" file, gdb connect gdbserver from remote address, not localhost.

It can be nice if allow to enter gdb server address in the debug option or the gdb server's address to be synchronized to the J-Link remote address.

Hi @blogcin ,

I believe you want this:

right? Instead launching the server locally, you want to connect to a remote server, correct?

I get the above with the MCU Eclipse CDT (Eclipse Embedded CDT (eclipse-embed-cdt.github.io), formerly GNU ARM Eclipse) plugins installed in MCUXpresso.

I hope this helps,

Erich
