Xilinx Zynq (custom gdb stub)

[pr242]

Hi,

I am planning to use VisualGDB with a Zilinx Zynq device + jlink gdb server (custom gdb stub)

I have tried this on (standard) eclipse which works, but ONLY with the xilinx supplied gdb.

A ‘standard’ gdb will *not* work

The problem is that in VisualGdb, the option to specify the gdb.exe is grayed out. I do not want to change the complete tool chain, I want to use the Xilinx gdb.exe. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi,

For embedded projects VisualGDB always uses the GDB that comes with your toolchain. The easiest way to override it would be by copying the toolchain to a different directory and adding a GDBExecutable element to toolchain.xml:

<Toolchain ...>
  <GDBExecutable>other-gdb.exe</GDBExecutable>

Hi,

Sorry, we don’t support Zynq directly as it’s not as popular as other platforms and the tools are not very reliable. Feel free to try it and post any errors you encounter. We will try to help you resolve it, but we cannot guarantee that it will work.
