I would like to have a remote option to debug application. For this purpose, I created the "launch.json" file from the following configuration:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "gdb",
"request": "attach",
"name": "Attach to gdbserver",
"executable": "/home/jakub/repo/app/build/app",
"target": "193.168.100.1:2345",
"remote": true,
"cwd": "/home/jakub/repo/app",
"gdbpath": "/home/jakub/repo/ext-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb",
"autorun": [
"info break"
]
}
]
}
First I start GDB Server on the arm board:
# gdbserver :2345 app
Process app created; pid = 173
Listening on port 2345
then the debugger fires in the vscode but nothing happens, no errors or reaction. I have available only pause, restart and disconnect buttons. The program is definitely correctly built to Debug because I am able to connect through GDB consoles
It should work with this launch configuration:
{
"name": "Attach to gdbserver",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "/home/jakub/repo/app/build/app",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"miDebuggerServerAddress": "193.168.100.1:2345",
"miDebuggerPath": "/home/jakub/repo/ext-toolchain/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb"
}
After running:
gdbserver localhost:2345 app
It may take a few seconds for everything to connect.
