3.3.2.3 GDB Server user interface
The J-Link GDB Server's user interface shows information about the debugging pro-
cess and the target and allows to configure some settings during execution.
It shows following information:
• The IP address of host running debugger.
• Connection status of J-Link.
• Information about the target core.
• Measured target voltage.
• Bytes that have been downloaded.
• Status of target.
• Log output of the GDB Server (optional, if Show log window is checked).
• Initial and current target interface speed.
• Target endianess.
These configurations can be made from inside GDB Server:
• Localhost only: If checked only connections from 127.0.0.1 are accepted.
• Stay on top
• Show log window.
• Generate logfile: If checked, a log file with the GDB <-> GDB Server <-> J-Link
communication will be created.
• Verify download: If checked, the memory on the target will be verified after
download.
• Init regs on start: If checked, the register values of the target will be set to a
reasonable value before on start of GDB Server.
3.3.2.4 Running GDB from different programs
We assume that you already have a solid knowledge of the software
tools used for building your application (assembler, linker, C compiler) and
especially the debugger and the debugger frontend of your choice. We
do not answer questions about how to install and use the chosen toolchain.
