Running the gnu toolchain for an embedded target (AVR). Managed to create a
plugin that lets you select AVR as a platform from the managed make project.
Now I want to include support for the cross platform GDB debugger.
(avr-gdb).
Can somebody point me in the right direction?
Cannot get the avr-gdb to run under eclipse, the Debug button is disabled
when I select an AVR ELF file. I'm guessing that somewhare a match between
platform and the target platform in the ELF file is matched to the available
debuggers.
Is there a doc somewhere or can somebody just quickly explain the
mechanisms?
Thanks.
Regard Jorgen

Hello Jorgen,
I have the same problem: I want to use the GNU Toolchain for the µC
MSP430 (msp430-gcc + msp430-gdb).
When I select a binary .hex file in the DEBUG-Main tab Button [Search]
it says: Qualifier - nonele /filename.hex
It seems that the Debugger Module can't recognize the binary file. It
says: no debugger available in the DEBUG-Debugger tab.
Take a look at:
http://www.rtems.com/ml/rtems-users/2003/september/msg00303. html
where it is discribed to change some things for the Debugger.
I use WINXP and Eclipse3.0 M7 with CDT 2.0 M7. With the msp430-gdb I use
it doesn't work, but maybe with the avr-gdb.
Good luck, Jorgen
Yours respectfully
Rüdiger
PS: If someone has an idea how to get the debugger to work, please let
me know.

I was browsing the ELF parser and found that only a fixed set of
architectures where recognized. AVR is recognized as "none".
Create a plugin with the following extension:
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.CDebugger">
<debugger
platform="native"
name="AVR GDB Debugger"
modes="run,attach"
cpu="none,avr"
class="org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.GDBServerDebugger"
id="org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.GDBServerCDebugger">
</debugger>
</extension>
</plugin>
The "cpu="none,avr"" part is of course the magical stuff...
Managed to run avr-gdb as server within Eclipse :)

Jörgen

Hello Jörgen,
Tanks for the answer, but I have no idea, how to create a plugin. Do I
have to write a new plugin??
I tried to modify the plugin.xml in the
plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core_2.0.0 directory, but that doesn't
fit. The debug window will only show the old three debuggers. If I
change the the cpu="native" to cpu="none,msp430" or something like that
from the GDB Server Debugger property, it will not be listed any more.
But anyway I can change the debuggers name :-) without disapearing from
the dropdown list.
Any ideas??
Thanks a lot,
Rüdiger
