running arm-none-eabi-dgb on nRF52 with soft device

[Samer Mattar]

Hi,

I'm trying to run the gdb on the nRF52 with softdevice s132 and in the begining it runs ok but after some time when I run (gdb) list I get: "Line number 435 out of range; main.c has 434 lines."

can somebody help with this?

To me, it's not clear, what you've tried and what failed. I use gdb regular in conjunction with nRF52s, without problems.

do you use the softdevice s132? also which IDE do you use? and on which OS (linux?) do you know where I can get a good explanation on how to debug nRF52 with arm-none-eabi-gdb?

Searching for similar error messages, I see that some people on other platforms have had this issue when the file ends in a new line with a space character. When they deleted the space, the error disappeared.

Note:

With the release of SDK 14.1, we have added support for Segger Embedded Studio (SES) IDE. SES is cross-platform, and can be used on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. You can use Segger Embedded Studio for commercial and non-commercial purpose with Nordic Semiconductor devices free of charge without any code limit. See this article for more information. I would therefore recommend using SES.

You can download SDK 14.1 here.

You can download Segger Embedded Studio from here.

thanks Sigurd that solved it.

Sorry for the late answer: Yes, currently, most of the time I use S132, without IDE on OS/X. A good start would be the JLink documentation and then the original GDB documentation.
