Hello,
To be able to automate some test suite, I need to launch the gdb server to be able to connect to gdb, using a script.
I dug into nxp tools, and could not find any documented way to doing this. Most probably the crt_emu_cm_redlink tool. I've searched into the documentation I have but could not manage to make it work.
Is there any way of extracting this information from MCUEpressoIDE ?
Is there a documentation about this ?
Best regards,
Vincent.
Mcuxpresso uses a gdb ‘serial’ connection, instead of a gdb remote connection. Look in the Gdb console during a debug session. This will show you the commands used. Beware that some of the commands are gdb-mi commands, so you may need to look for the gdb script equivalents.
gdb-mi is the machine interface to gdb, where the results are returned in a machine parsable format.
Hello, thanks to have taken the time to reply.
I've just disconnected the board during connection to have access to the sent commands, else the console is cleared, and I cannot see the dialog. Isn't there a way of seeing the full dialog instead of having to hack this way ?
Regards,
Vincent.
Sorry, you actually need to see the "gdb traces" console, which is a sub-view of the "Console" (See below). The contents of this window is retained after the termination of a debug session.
Thanks to your help, I think I succeeded
I translated the MI commands to GDB ones, and ended-up with :
set breakpoint pending on
set detach-on-fork on
set python print-stack none
set print object on
set print sevenbit-strings on
set host-charset UTF-8
set target-charset UTF-8
set target-wide-charset UTF-32
set dprintf-style call
set target-async on
set record full stop-at-limit off
set non-stop on
set auto-solib-add on

The last hurdle I met was the "-msg-port" and the "--telnet" I had top remove (the port is somehow communicating with mcuexpresso).

Vincent.
