So you can e.g. compile somewhere, transfer the elf-file to your debugging station, flash your processor and debug. So no, openocd does not need to run to *compile*. What I do (but hope to do with lazarus) : Start openocd, it should detect your board. In another terminal-session, telnet to localhost port . For my processor (but I think it should be for all processors) I do : "reset halt" to stop the processor. Then I erase the processor : "stm32f1x mass_erase 0" (that's specific for the stm32f1x-processors). Then I can program : "flash write_image " After that you can start the processor : "reset" Debugging should be done like this : start your arm-none-eabi-gdb. I used tui as parameter : TextUserInterface. I have a .gdbinit file in my home-directory containing : "target extended-remote localhost:" This connects gdb to openocd. Unfortunately, I don't know text-based gdb enough to give more details. Depending on your processor/debug-interface you could use Insight, that's a stand-alone GUI gdb. Unfortunately, I personally can't use it anymore because openocd 0.8 changed so gdb 6.8 (Insight's version of gdb) can't be used. And I need openocd 0.8 for my processor. Openocd 0.7 has no problems with Insight though. HTH. Koenraad -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] How to tell debugger what executable to use ?
I dont know the answer, sa I do not have that scenario myself. It would help, if you can specify which commands, to send to gdb, if you run gdb outside lazarus. In Lazarus, There is also Menu: "Run" > "Run Parameter" which allaws to set the "Host application". That is the exe gdb should debug, e.g. if your project is a library, and you nneed to specify an exe that loads the library. - No idea about "monitor". But the IDE has 2 "developer" modes.(They are for developing the gdb integration. They allow directly sending commands to GDB, without checking them. However sending the wrong command, and your IDE/GDB communication breaks, and you loose the debug session. Sending commands only works, when the app is paused. You need to define DBG_WITH_DEBUGGER_DEBUG DBG_WITH_GDB_WATCHES and then recompile the IDE DBG_WITH_DEBUGGER_DEBUG There will be an TEdit at the bottom of the "Debug Output" Window. It can be used to send command DBG_WITH_GDB_WATCHES You can enter special watches, that will execute. They must start with a ">" (You can use the eval/modify window) >ptype ToOo Warning: In both cases, sending any command that performs running/stepping, and the IDE willloose the session.
