Break points not being set, VS 17, embedded C project

[usernameasdfjk]

I’m having an issue where no break points are being set. Maybe you guys know what is going on. This is some of my output:

 

C:\gcc\gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q3-20160926-win32\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe –interpreter mi  path/to/…/file.hex
Warning: could not set a breakpoint on main. ‘Step into new instance’ will not work.
All created breakpoints are pending. Setting a breakpoint at main()…
Cannot resolve the address of _estack. Skipping stack pointer validity check.

 

As you can see, the all the addresses of the break points are say <PENDING>:

 

Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/fileTest.c:7
3 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/main.c:1064
4 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/file.c:140
5 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/main.c:1063
6 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/main.c:1065
7 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/main.c:1066
8 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> path/to/file…/main.c:1067
9 breakpoint keep y <PENDING> main

Hi,

Looks like you are trying to debug the .hex file instead of the ELF file (has no extension by default). Please double-check your debug settings; the ELF file contains the necessary symbol information and is vital for debugging.

Thank you very much for the quick and helpful response! You were indeed right.
