Content originally posted in LPCWare by dawid on Wed Dec 11 05:33:47 MST 2013 Dear All, I would like to use GDB console from command line to retrieve semihosting data. I'm currently using Win7 64bit and LPCXpresso v6.1.0 [Build 164] [2013-10-21]. The application is simple led blinking and invoking printf("hello world!") every second blink. The application is build under LPCXpresso and I can see printf output in console during debug. I'm also able to debug file from GDB on the target board with standard GDB commands. When application is running on the target from GDB console I can see led blinking but I cannot see any semihosting output. The PCB is standard LPCXpresso LPC1769 rev. B board. The code is compiled with Redlib (semihost) library. Some more details on how I invoke the GDB session: [list=1] [*]Run GDB:
target extended-remote | C:/nxp/LPCXpresso_6.1.0_164/lpcxpresso/bin/crt_emu_cm3_nxp.exe -g -2 -pLPC1769 -wire=hid
set remotetimeout 60000
set arm force-mode thumb
load
monitor semihosting enable
continue
[*]Console output:
C:\nxp\LPCXpresso_6.1.0_164\lpcxpresso\tools\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe test.axf
