remote debugging tutorial ?
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2015 11:28 amHey,
I read that gdb-remote is supported with the 2.0.0 version of esp8266-arduino.
Do we have a small tutorial for this ?
Questions I ask myself :
- I have a NodeMCU dev board, and use the USB connection to see debug output via Serial.print.
Supposedly that connection is needed for the gdb communication so I probably need to remove
those Serial.print statements. Other things I should do ?
- Is this gdb-remote like on other platforms ? Can you inspect variables, single step, ... ?
- I use the Arduino IDE. When the "Serial monitor" is active, the gdb command to connect to
a remote session fails. Stopping the serial monitor does make it possible to attach, but
what should I do first ? Attach with gdb and then upload a sketch ? The other way around ?
Thanks,
Danny
