Hi,

This issue may occur when the first debug is launched by clicking on the debug button and there was no debug configuration launched previously - Eclipse creates a new generic GDB configuration which is missing some important paths/settings required to run GDB client.

I'd suggest you to go the Debug Configuration dialog select correct debug configuration and press debug:

Hope it helps.

That error message typically indicates that the gdb executable is not found, see Troubleshooting Tips: Failed Debugging with GDB | MCU on Eclipse 

I hope this helps,

Hi,

I faced similar issue couple weeks ago - in my case the issue was caused by different gcc (4.9 used for build) and gdb (6.3) version used for build/debug. You can use verbose build mode in project properties to check out in build console  which particular version is really used:
