10.6 Debugging functions

This section outlines the debugging functions of gdb, separately for each function. For details about each debugging

command, see Section 10.7, "Command Reference".

Note that gdb supports two connect modes, of which the mode used is set by the target command.

iCD Mini mode

In this mode, the ICD Mini (S5U1C17001H) or ICD board is used to perform debugging. The program is

executed on the target board.

Specification method

Command: (gdb) target icd usb

Specification in IDE:

Select "ICD Mini" from the [Debugger:] combo box in the [Create a simple startup command]

dialog box to generate a startup command file.

To start in ICD Mini mode, make sure an ICD and target board are connected correctly, and that the power for

these units is turned on. For details on how to use the ICD, refer to the manual for the ICD used.

Note that the trace mode is not available in ICD Mini mode.

Simulator (SiM) mode

In simulator mode, target program execution is simulated in internal memory of a personal computer, with no

other tools required. However, the ICD-dependent functions cannot be used in this mode.

Specification method

Command: (gdb) target sim

Specification in IDE:

Select "Simulator" from the [Debugger:] combo box in the [Create a simple startup command]

dialog box to generate a startup command file.

The trace mode is available in simulator mode. The flash writer function cannot be used.
