5.3 'Debug It' gdb could not load XML target description
kjsuarez opened this issue · 1 comments
While working through 5.3 on a microbit:v2 I can gdb into the target, but the session starts me at 0x00000000 in __vector_table and continuing never hits the breakpoint at main.
Appears to be very similar to this issue
$ gdb target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette
...

I'm running cargo embed
from microbit/src/05-led-roulette
and have tried running gdb
from both microbit/src/05-led-roulette
and microbit
directories with identical results.
Thank you, any help appreciated.
Solved.
I'm working from wsl
(5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2) via Windows 10, for the record.
I was apparently using the wrong gdb
command. I have gdb-multiarch
installed per the setup instructions in 3.1 but I was using gdb
instead of gdb-multiarch
.
$ gdb target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette
from the microbit
dir fails as shown above.
$ gdb-multiarch target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette
from the microbit
dir behaves as described in book.
