it is gdb_loop not gdb-loop  under vs. dash.

ouch.

took me a while to see it.

 From the documentation it appears that the gdb-loop option should be the

 of variations, all with no apparent effect. Options I have tried are;

 gdb port opt gdb-loop
 gdb port opt gdb-loop 1
 gdb port opt gdb-loop true

 plus tried adding these directly to the startup command line.

 Am I reading this correctly?

 Thanks - Andrew

Re: [Mspgcc-users] gdb-loop in Mspdebug

Thanks Daniel and Eric.

All working, and another (little) frustration removed.

Just out of curiousity, what home location does Mspdebug pick up its
.mspdebug init file from on XP? It doesn't appear to be the normal
UserProfile (C:\Documents and Settings\user). It works fine putting this
in my working directory, which is perfect for what I need.

Regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

opt is a command on its own, and the option you want is gdb_loop. Try
adding this to your ~/.mspdebug file:

opt gdb_loop true

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Andrew,

If you set the HOME environment variable, mspdebug will look for a
.mspdebug file there. However, the current working directory takes
precedence.

Cheers,
Daniel
