How to provide GDB options in LPCLink 2 Launch Config

[jschepler]

I have run into the issue where breakpoints caused my code to stop working due to extended back tracing.

(Reference: https://community.nxp.com/thread/327560 )

I have successfully resolved the issue in the PEMicro Debugger Launch config.  It is very easy to add GDB commands in that dialog.

How do I go about adding these GDB options when debugging with an LPC Link 2?

The issue you describe with backtrace causing debug problems is rather intriguing - I've certainly not come across anything similar to this previously.

But that aside, you can use the "Edit Scripts" button towards the bottom of the Debugger -> Target Configuration tab of the LinkServer Launch Configuration page to add the required gdb command.

Thank you for your prompt response, this resolved my issue. 

Here is an image showing the command added to the "Edit Scripts" dialog, and the command showing up in the GDB trace console when debugging:

Yesterday I saw an area in the Debugger --> Main tab for a GDB command file.  It is currently empty.  I tried creating a file and adding the command there but it never worked.
