TRACE32 as GDB Front-End
Version 11-Nov-2014
Operation Theory
The TRACE32 GDB front-end is a software debugger solution which communicates with a gdbserver/
gdbstub or any other application using the Remote Serial Protocol (RSP) over ethernet or RS232.
GDB Server
The gdbserver is a small program provided by GNU, which allows you to debug an application on a remote
machine. The gdbserver can start a new process or attach to a running one and provide debugging
functionality using mechanisms provided by the operating system as the Process Trace (ptrace) for Linux.
It is recommended to use gdbserver version 6.2 or newer. Some of the functionality described in this manual
as multi-process debugging and non-stop mode are only supported with gdbserver version 7.1 or newer. To
get your gdbserver version, type in the terminal
If nothing is printed, then your gdbserver has a version older than 6.2.
Starting TRACE32
To start TRACE32 as GDB front-end, edit your config.t32 file and insert the statement:
gdbserver --version
PBI=GDB
