Vidar, finally we did it! As you suspected the path of the GDB client executable was the problem. I added the path to the arm-none-eabi-gdb an it works. (I did not have to change the other configurations.) Thanks

You can insert 'arm-none-eabi-gdb' into the 'executable' field as shown in the first screenshot in my answer below.

This may be related to some of the debug settings. Please compare your the highlighted settings in the following screendumps with your configuration:

Hi Vidar, thanks for your reply. OK I disabled "semihosting" and "flash breakpoint" in the debug config and tested it but I was not successful.

How can I set the GDB client setup executable to arm-none-eabi-gdb? I attached my debug config in the post above, maybe this helps...

I did not manage to reproduce the issue when I debugged your .out file here, so I think it points to a problem with the debug configuration.

Please try to disable semihosting and flash breakpoints in your debug launcher configuration, and set the GDB client setup executable to arm-none-eabi-gdb

Please attach the blinky.out file to you question so I can try to debug it at my end.
