STM32F103 debugging with Black Magic Probe
Jul 23^rd, 2018 at 3:14pm

Hello all,

I'm trying to debug a STM32 using a Baite ST-Link converted to a Black Magic Probe but I can't figure out how to debug it. I can build and upload sketches and I can debug using the command line, but that is not really efficient.

I already looked up how to enable debugging but that is with OpenOCD which I don't need since a BMP already includes a GDB server.

How can I enable debugging without OpenOCD.
The STM32 core I use is https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32

Visual Micro version: 1807.8.0
Visual Micro GDB version: 15.170821.1
Visual Studio version: 15.7.5
MI-debugger is installed

Hi

GDB is beta and might be difficult to make work. The usb debugger should work out of the box and provide unlimited (only by memory) breakpoints but it's not like a live view.

There will be a new gdb system over the next few months after we drop support for vs2012 and 2013 which prevent a simple and good solution.

If you want to try it the "vMicro>Help>Gdb" goes here https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Install-Arduino-GDB-for-Visual-Studio.aspx

You need to install the Visual Micro Arduino GDB extension from the gallery which works alongside visual micro.

Gdb logs should end up below the project_folder\debug or \release folder

I also get debug logs. But since you stated that the GDB implementation will change I will wait. Will the new version support a Black Magic Probe or is development not far enough to say that it will work.

Oh sorry I missed that.

You don;t need to define the openocd parts in the example and can use a local board.txt instead of platform.txt for testing. Just remember to click save when changing a local board.txt because VS auto saves text files after the build process completes.
