Embedded Studio Debug Options

The Debug Options configure how the project should be debugged, which debug interface (J-Link, GDB Server, Simulator) should be used, and how the target should be configured on certain operations.

Debugger

The Debugger options control how to debug the project. These options apply to all debug interfaces.

Options	Values	Description
Target Connection	J-Link, GDB Server, Simulator	Select the debug interface to use to connect to the target device.
Target Device	string, select from the list of known devices	The name of the device to connect to.
Run To Control	Always, Only With No Breakpoint Set, Never, On Entry	Specifies when the initial breakpoint should be set.
Run To	string	Specifies where to set the initial breakpoint.

GDB Server

The GDB Server Options configure how to connect to a GDB Server and how to handle it. these options apply only when "GDB Server" is selected as "Target Connection".

Options	Values	Description
Host	string, Default: localhost	The hostname or IP of the GDB Server to connect to.
Type	J-Link, OpenOCD, ST-Link, Custom	The type of GDB Server being connected to.
GDB Server Command Line	string	The command line to start GDB Server.
Auto Start GDB Server	Yes, No	Specifies whether GDB Server is started by Embedded Studio on connect or assumed to be already running.
Port	number	The portnumber of the GDB Server to connect to.
