debug configuration on eclipse to run softdevice + application + bootloader?

Question

Hello, 
 I am using Eclipse with ARM toolchain on ubuntu to buid my application with softdevice s132 api version 3.1.0. I managed to build on eclipse and merge softdevice hex with application with the help of nrfjprog and mergehex. I would really like to setup eclpse GDB debugger to perform line by line debuggging. But when I start the debug session it never hits main, and soon runs into infinite loop of the softdevice exception. As I have the *.out file with information only on my application related symbols, could this be the reason ? How do I configure debugger correctly? my Linker script is written as shown below to accomodate S132. Is there any other reason other that linker scripts that could cause this issue ? 
 
 This is my linker scripts :
