Debug doesn't work with Arduino UNO or Mega

[carlos@dobleausa.com]

Hello,

I tried the blink example and I can compile it and run without the Debugger , but when I try to use the debugger I got the following error:

**********

Debugging Failed

Visual GDB has encountered a problem while starting debugging.

GDB session exited prematurely. Please verify that the project is built, the selected GDB binary exist and the working directory is specified correctly.

**********

I appreciate your help.

Hi,

No problem. Please try creating a gdb log as shown here and attach it to the thread so that we could see what is going on.

Hi,

Sorry, this doesn’t look like a gdb log. Please make sure you follow the instructions from the page linked in our previous reply and send us the gdb log described there and not any other logs.

[carlos@dobleausa.com]

Please send me the link of how to do a GDB log. It didn’t come in your emails.

Regards,

 

 

[support]

No problem. The link was posted in our first reply in this thread.

Either way, here it is again: https://visualgdb.com/support/logsubmit

[carlos@dobleausa.com]

Here is the log you asked:

C:\Users\Carlos\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7\bin\\avr-gdb –interpreter mi “C:/Users/Carlos/source/repos/ArduinoProject2/Output/Arduino_Uno/Debug/ArduinoProject2.ino.elf”
[ 0 ms] -gdb-version

Thanks, this looks like gdb fails to initialize.

Please try running the gdb executable shown in the log manually from the command prompt window and see if it’s being blocked by your antivirus or any other component.

You can also try deleting the entire C:\Users\Carlos\Documents\ArduinoData folder and re-creating the project from scratch. This will re-install all the packages and tools, including the up-to-date version of avr-gdb.

[carlos@dobleausa.com]

I ran it using the option Program and Start without Debugging in Debug menu and It ran ok.

Deleting and recreating the program doesn’t eliminate the error.

Regards,

 

Carlos

Most likely, you are using an incompatible combination of an Arduino core and a debug method. Please make sure you follow our AVR debugging tutorial to configure debugging of your board.

If it doesn’t work, please share the screenshots of all the wizard pages with the choices you make while creating the project, and also the screenshots of all the settings pages where you change any settings so that we could check for common errors.

When I tried to run the command line, you sent me,  I received the following error: avr-gdb is not recognized as an internal or external command

I saw that avr-gdb is not in the folder :  “C:\Users\Carlos\Documents\ArduinoData\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7\bin”

Then please share a screenshot of the output and screenshots of any error messages you get while trying to run it.
