I personally don't bother to place it in /usr/bin/, but I guess you could. Once you acquired a gdb executable, call it e.g. Or maybe find binaries that have this support enabled.
#EABI IAR ARM HOW TO#
If you're on Windows, sorry you will need to google a bit on how to do this with Mingw or whatever (honestly I don't know). If you're on Mac, the process will likely be similar. Assuming compilation went well, you can find the gdb executable in the main directory.
#EABI IAR ARM INSTALL#
If python fails, make sure to install the python2.x-dev package (check your version no - likely 2.7). Don't be afraid - this happened to me on my first try too and I figured it out with a bunch of google searches! Unfortunately you may be a bit on your own once the compilation stops because of dependency issues. This takes a while, depending on your system speed. This sets up the make environment for ARM targets with python scripting enabled. Open in terminal and run "./configure -with-python -target=arm-elf". I still use GDB-7.6 which seems to work fine, but for this tutorial I have recompiled it for GDB-7.10.Įxtract the source archive. Nevertheless if you do need to compile GDB with python supporet, here is how to do it. You can save a lot of time/hassle by checking if this has changed. At the time (about 9 months back when I write this post) the binaries in Ubuntu repo does not have this option. You need an arm gdb version with python scripting support. This has been the most trickiest thing to do. There is nothing else to setup here.Ĭ) Go to "Build & Run" - tab Debuggers. Add a new device, choose Bare Metal and the GDB provider you have just created.

The standard commands are set for STM32F4xx chips - but I guess you can modify it to work with any ARM Cortex controller.ī) Go to "Devices". At this point you can set the connection to gdb and it's port, as well as init commands. There are a few settings we need to create and adjust in order to compile for an ARM Cortex controller.Ī) Go to "Bare Metal" (last category) - add a debugger of your choice. Find category Device Support and check BareMetal.Ģ) Go to Tools -> Options. Versions used: Qt Creator 3.6.0, ARM GCC 4.8.2-14ubuntu1+6, ARM GDB 7.6/7.10 with python support and OpenOCD 0.7.0.ġ) Install Qt Creator. OpenOCD (Ubuntu: apt-get install openocd).GDB source archive (download from archive).ARM GCC (Ubuntu: apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi).In some Linux repositories it is outdated and does not support the BareMetal plugin, and/or QBS (which is quite useful). I actually work with this setup, it works wonderful.įirst make sure you use a recent Qt Creator version.
