GDB debugging is disabled in VS 2012

I use VS 2012 and now I want to do some debugging on stm32f103c8t6 board. But the children menu of Debugger, all are disabled. I also placed a boards.txt file in project folder containing following text.

Quote:
build.openocdscript=board/stm32f103c8t6mini.cfg
debug.tool=gdb
tools.gdb.pre_init.tool=openocd
tools.gdb.cmd=arm­none­eabi­gdb.exe
tools.gdb.path={runtime.tools.arm­none­eabi­gcc.path}/bin
tools.gdb.pattern="{path}/{cmd}" ­interpreter=mi ­d "{build.project_path}"
tools.gdb.openocd.cmd=bin/openocd.exe
tools.gdb.tcp=localhost:3333
9.0
tools.gdb.openocd.params.verbose=­d2
tools.gdb.openocd.params.quiet=­d0
tools.gdb.openocd.pattern="{path}/{cmd}" -f "{path}\scripts\interface\stlink-v2.cfg" -c "transport select hla_swd" ­s "{path}/scripts/" ­f "{path}/scripts/{build.openocdscript}" -c "tpiu config external uart off 24000000 12000000" 


But Im not sure if I have android tools for VS installed, I checked in control panel and there is nothing to install further.

Hi,

Well done for finding the board.txt commands because they are new and need better documentation

The problem is that Visual Micro replies on the Microsoft MI debugger which I know is installed with the Android tools for  VS2015. Haven't had a chance yet to see if there are options for older VS versions.

Visual Micro tests to see if the android tools are installed before enabling gdb.

If you find an alternative way to install the mi debugger in vs 2012 it will be an easy job to check for it so do let me know and I will repeat the steps and produce a new release.

Otherwise please install VS2015 with C++ and Android tools. VS2015 happily runs side-by-side with vs2012 so will not damage your 2012 install

Some crude instructions here:-

okay I tried this month ago, I tried this yesterday and today but VS 2015 cant seem to install Visual C++ Android Development. It says install succeed but when I open the VS modify dialog, there it is again available to install(Image). 

I already have android SDK installed, but VS keep insisting on installing Android SDK Setup (API 19 and 21), but if I enable it, install fails as 'addon-google_apis_x86-google-19' no longer exists on google server, but I tried many tricks and got 'addon-google_apis_x86-google-19' installed but then setup fails with following error.

Quote:
Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 and 21) : The following package(s) were not downloaded: extra-android-support . Please check your internet connection and try again.


So I unchecked this option and install finishes successfully but still Visual C++ Android Development doesn't get installed.

Hi,

Best place to ask is the microsoft connect web site. They will probably confirm which update of Visual Studio you are using and gather other information.

Please provide visual studio version and update number details from the help>about

Try control panel>add or remove programs>visual studio c++ android tools>repair

I can't see what else you have selected in the vs options list. It might be related

I have Visual C++ for Mobile Development (Android support) inside Programs, does that mean I have "Visual C++ Android Development" Installed ?

Okay I created a new project, closed it, added boards.txt and reopen the project. Now there is no Debugger menu inside vMicro menu.

Edit : Fixed the sentence

The VS C++ Mobile with Android is all you should need.

A missing entire debug menu is not related to android.

Can you please open a project, make sure the solution explorer is visible, select the project in the solution explorer, pull down the vMicro menu and take a screen shot.

Thanks

This is a different problem.

Visual Micro will go to sleep if the project name, folder name and a .ino do not match.

You don't have any code edit options or build options, not just debug Smiley

Right click the project and rename the "Sketch" to "vvv"

What did you click to create the project?

Renamed still same problem.
I created through File > New > Arduino Project.

I created new project, added boards.txt, reopen project twice. Debugger menu is appearing but all disabled.

Great, that's working correctly now.

The debug menu is disabled if you are using the free version.

Did you purchase in the past?

Or maybe you have switched on "Pause Pro Features" in tools>options>visual micro?

Oh I see. The problem is the board.txt is part of pro so its ignored. You would have to experiment with platform.txt from the hardware folder then your gdb menu will appear. in the latest version "vMicro>General>rescan tooslchains and libraries" will detected your platform.txt changes without need to restart the ide.

The gdb is still in free but I should warn you that it will probably move to paid shortly. When I started the project 6 or 7 years ago I was under the false belief that making good software would see people either leave good review on the internet or if they can affort 25 euros they would buy the software. 

Sadly the world doesn't appear to work this way. Furthermore both Microsoft and Arduino change so fast it's becoming full time work to keep things going. Then we have users who want help with standard Ide functions and Arduino code it's becoming more and more difficult to justify the free software.

I hope this makes sense to you.

I understand, I had quite similar experience in past years. And I will soon purchase pro version when I will be coding. 

Thank you. Smiley

Just the fix that removes the debug prompt.

Is your gdb working now?

You don't need it do you. You have changed the platform.txt and have the gdb menu. the gdb was attempting to launch for you yesterday but showed a confusing debug message.

So if you have updated today gdb should start without the message.

You only needed the paid version for the board.txt.

If you can test that it works and then provide the platform.txt changes along with a note of what hardware you installed from board manager or git then I can get you a free license.

No I haven't touched platform.txt and what confusing message did it show?

I did update the visual micro, and menus are still disabled.

I believe we have some communication misunderstanding. Embarrassed

Sorry I was confused with two gdb threads in the forum.

What have you put in your board.txt?

Don't buy pro just for this I can send you a trial key.

The gdb is released for vs2015 and above because it's tested with that I don't know if the android tools in vs2012 use the Microsoft MI debugger. It's the debugger that the android tools install that we use.

Email me at info[at]visualmicro.com and I will send you a key.

You also need to be prepared to work out a few settings. gdb is currently only standard for the arduino zero and to launchpad. Support for other boards can be added when users confirm the correct settings.

Okay I tried today with the key you sent me, the debugger submenus got enabled. But when I tried to debug I got this error.

Quote:
Opening port
Debug off
Port failed to open
To try connecting again untick and then tick the 'Connect' button or switch on communications 'Auto Reconnect' in the options
Opening port
Debug off
Port failed to open


You are using Serial to debug ? I needed to debug through ST LINK V2, which do not have serial.

Hi,

Two things are required for the gdb debug

1) debug.tool=gdb
2) Android tools with Microsoft MI debugger

As you know the gdb was released and tested for vs2015 and above. You have been able to install android into vs2012 but I don't know if it has the mi debugger.

Visual Micro looks for points 1) and 2), if they exist then the menu item is displayed

I suggest you switch on "vMicro>Compiler>Show build properties" then build and see if debug.tool=gdb is displayed in the outputed properties. This will show that you have configured point 1) correctly.

Your site wont allow me to post the entire build properties as its more than 8000 chars. But the build properties do have debug.tool=gdb

Thanks for the output which looks okay so the problem suggests that the cross-platform android tools for vs are not installed.

Hmmm, we have a couple of other threads were people are working okay with this so I will have to try your platform settings.

Can you please tell me what you have installed for your board (which board etc to download)

I will see if your settings then work.

Thanks

Thanks. That all checks out. I and other users have the same.

I tried your defs and the menu item shows for me. I even knocked out my pro license and it's still there.

I assume with a new empty project you have the same issue?

As I said there are only two checks. 1) for the debug.tool=gdb + props and 2) if android tools have installed the Microsoft MI debugger for us.

You have shown the tools are installed so I am not sure why you cant see the menu

Does your file>new>project window show the cross platform templates as in the attached picture?

Thanks. it's very weird that such simple checks are causing such issue.

I will add some trace messages to the next release so that we can see more clearly what visual micro is seeing.

In 2015 what are your settings under "tools>options>visual micro>gdb and on-chip debugging"

There are a lot of fixes for stm32 in the next release

There is a link to the next release at the top of this post if you want to try it.

I checked, and GDB Enable was false. I set it to True, but still same problem.

I dont know why its keep trying to open port, there is no Serial, all it connected through st link.

Okay so you haven't uploaded a test program yet?

In the arduino ide, what do you click to upload?

In visual micro you need to select the stlink from the "vMicro>Uploader>Programmers list" and click "Use when uploading". After that you will find the standard upload commands use the programmer instead of the serial.

I did upload many times and upload works fine. Just debugging has the problem.

Ok good. Without gdb in debug mode then cm will.attempt to use the serial.debugger.


Did you use blink to upload or standard Arduino serial?

Yes but now I just try to upload a simple empty loop just to check if debugging is working or not. I use F5 to debug.
