Setting up VisualGDB with Raspberry Pi 3 (Buster)

[elliotwoods]

Hi there

I have a project where I’m targeting:

• Linux 5.10.52-v7+ armv7l
• Raspbian Buster
• Raspberry Pi 3B

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

I’m trying to set up a simple project for the first time:

(screenshots might break because I can’t actually host them here)

During the testing stage I get the following error:

Toolchain test failed: The target system image does not match the selected toolchain:

Command: lsb_release -c

Output:

Codename: buster

Choosing Retry gives the same error.

Choosing Ignore instantly hides the list of tests (perhaps ignores all tests?)

I then get the message that gdbserver is not installed on the deployment machine.

This error shows every time, even if gdbserver is installed

So anyway click ‘Yes’ and apt pops up and says that the most recent version of gdbserver is already installed.

 

Now If we try Build Solution we get the following errors:

LinuxProject1.cpp

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

========== Project Build Summary ==========
LinuxProject1 built in 00:03
========== Build: 0 Succeeded, 1 Failed, 0 Skipped ==========

 

So the build has failed.

 

It seems like I’m following the most straightforward process but it’s failing. I tried running synchronise headers and libraries which itself works well, but the build still fails.

I’ll keep trying…

(p.s. ever thought of changing the forum system. This one isn’t very good for code or screenshots)

The only other toolchain available with VisualGDB seems to be the 64bit version, and I’m not running in 64bit Raspbian (e.g. uname -m returns armv7l).

 

[elliotwoods]

Ah ok – the default Raspberry Pi toolchain is for Bullseye. I didn’t notice that.

Downloading correct toolchain now (selecting the ‘Show old pacakges’ option in toolchains)..

Success!

That was easy once I’d noticed that the toolchain was for Bullseye. I hope this is easy to find for others who hit the same issue.

I am trying to use DAC2Plate with VisualGDB. The example codes are written in Python2.7 and don’t work with Bulleseye.

Is it possible to uses VisualGDB with Buster?
