  1. Initiate the GDB server by typing the following line into command window:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleInitiate GDB server
    $ /opt/SEGGER/JLink/JLinkGDBServer  -device CC2538SF53
    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleTerminal Output

    J-Link is connected.
    Firmware: J-Link V9 compiled Apr 15 2014 19:08:28
    Hardware: V9.00
    S/N: 269300326
    OEM: SEGGER-EDU
    Feature(s): FlashBP, GDB
    Checking target voltage...
    Target voltage: 3.28 V
    Listening on TCP/IP port 2331
    Connecting to target...
    J-Link found 2 JTAG devices, Total IRLen = 10
    JTAG ID: 0x4BA00477 (Cortex-M3)
    Connected to target
    Waiting for GDB connection...

    At this state, the connection to the board through the segger has been established, and waiting for any GDB connection

  2. Start on a new window of terminal, and start the gdb:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titlestart GDB
    $ arm-none-eabi-gdb
  3. Start loading the binary file that has been compiled before into the board by executing these following lines:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleLoading Binary File
    target remote localhost:2331
    monitor interface jtag
    monitor speed 5000
    monitor endian little
    monitor flash download = 1
    monitor flash breakpoints = 1
    monitor reset
    load anyBinaryFile.elf

    Remember to set the breakpoints correctly because it will be really useful in debugging the code.
    The terminal window should look like below:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleTerminal's look for GDB
    (gdb) target remote localhost:2331
    Remote debugging using localhost:2331
    0x00000000 in ?? ()
    (gdb) monitor interface jtag
    Select JTAG as target interface
    (gdb) monitor speed 5000
    Target interface speed set to 5000 kHz
    (gdb) monitor endian little
    Target endianess set to "little endian"
    (gdb) monitor flash download = 1
    Flash download enabled
    (gdb) monitor flash breakpoints = 60
    Flash breakpoints enabled
    (gdb) monitor reset
    Resetting target
    (gdb) load 01bsp_leds_prog
    Loading section .text, size 0x3de4 lma 0x200000
    Loading section .data, size 0x400 lma 0x203de4
    Loading section .flashcca, size 0xc lma 0x27ffd4
    Start address 0x20164c, load size 16880
    Transfer rate: 3296 KB/sec, 5626 bytes/write.
  4. Go to the where the break point is by using:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    titleContinue
    (gdb) continue
    Continuing.
  5. Don't forget to quit the GDB and GDB server.
