gdb no debug symbols found

Jason De Lorme

Hi - I'm trying to use the pure-gcc make files and I've got my project building and the code is running, but when I try to launch startdebug gdb it reports no debugging symbols found:

Reading symbols from <path to my .elf file>...(no debugging symbols found)...done. 0x00000000 in ?? ()

I know the pure-gcc files are not officially supported, but I noticed they do not generate a .out file, so I can't use the method that Ole has recommended here with loading the .out file.

Any pointers would be appreciated!

-Jason

    If you use my Makefiles, from the nrf51-pure-gcc-setup repository, you must remember to set the CFLAGS to -g in your project Makefile to get gcc to compile in debugging symbols. See for example this Makefile, which currently have only -Os (optimize for size) as a parameter. If you add -g, you should get debuging symbols.

    However, the .out file is equivalent with the .elf or .axf file. The exact name is dependent on how the Makefiles are set up.
