GDB does not know what SWO is. But the J-Link GDB server is able to send SWO data to a socket. This article is a step-by-step guide about how to use SWO with GDB.

Default settings

If not set differently, J-Link GDB Server will use default settings:

  • Telnet port: 2331
  • SWO data port: 2332

Example with a MK22FN512xxx12 device using putty (default ports)

This example shows how to setup GDB for SWO. It was created by using default port settings. Further information about setting different ports and more can be found in UM08001. In this example the following applications were used:

  • J-Llink GDB Server
  • ARM GDB Client (tool-chain)
  • Putty

Setting up the J-Link GDB Server
