Newbie needs help debugging AVR under linux

(1/2) > >>

dschlic1:
I am running Ubuntu 9.1. I have installed the AVR tool chain (AVR-GCC, AVR-GDB, simulavr etc), and also have installed Code::Blocks 8.02. I have created a small test program, and wish to run it under simulavr. The code builds without errors (using debug target). However when I try to start the debugger I run into some problems. When I first tried to debug, Code::Blocks gave me an error that the debugger was not setup under Settings->Compiler and debugger. I didn't really find any revelant settings under that menu. Now several days latter, when I try to start the debugger, nothing happens.

Can someone give a short sequence for configuring and using the debugger.

stahta01:
1. Install debugger
2. Set the debugger exe under
Settings->Compiler and debugger
Tab: Toolchain Executable
Sub-Tab: Program files

Directions based on recent nightly the 8.02 may be different.

1. The debugger avr-gdb is installed. I can and have invoked it from a terminal window. When invoked from a terminal window, it can and does connect with Simulavr.
2. In Settings->Compiler and debugger, Tab Toolchain Executable, sub tab Program files, avr-gdb is listed as the debugger.

When I Start the debugger absolutely nothing happens. It appears the avr-gdb is not even started. I can not find it in the list of processes.

No idea if the message will help or not; I do not use AVR.
