Debugging MSP430 from within C::B

dmcminn_iwc, cichmen: Can you test the debugger branch?

dmcminn_iwc:
1. You say that the debugging process should start with "cont" not "run"?
Do you have some documentation about that or this is a specific problem of your debugger?
Does "run to cursor" work?

2. Hitting the "stop" ("pause" in the debugger branch) button on the toolbar, should send the windows equivalent to Ctrl-C (SIGINTR on Unix) to the debugger => should pause the debuggee.
Any docs why this doesn't work would be helpful.

Can you provide the debugger's log?
Settings -> Compiler & Debugger -> Debugger -> Display debugger's log

cichmen:
oBFusCATed: You mean "wxpropgrid_debugger" branch? I could try, but will need some time - I've never compiled CB.

Regarding Run/Continue - it is mentioned here: http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/x1601.html

oBFusCATed:
Yes, this is the branch...

Should I get similar behaviour (to msp430-gdb) if I use gdb + gdbserver?

So... I've taken a look at the code and this feature seems to be implemented,
but you need (probably) to setup the project/target for remote debugging.
This is done in Project -> Properties -> Debugger -> Remove debugging (you should choose a target or <Project>).


--- Code: ---void GDB_driver::Start(bool breakOnEntry)
{
...
    // if performing remote debugging, use "continue" command
    RemoteDebugging* rd = GetRemoteDebuggingInfo();
    bool remoteDebugging = rd && rd->IsOk();
...
   // start the process
   QueueCommand(new DebuggerCmd(this, remoteDebugging ? _T("continue") : _T("run")));
...
}

--- End code ---

This feature should be present in the normal(trunk) version of C::B...

cichmen:
Debug branch is not working as expected. When pressing the pause button nothing happens.

Run/Continue in latest nightly build:

When I press Debug / Continue first time, it will not run (see log below). When I press it second time, it works as expected.

I'm talking with the gdb people, to see what is the correct way to implement this feature

Are you sure that you've setup the remote debugging info needed by C::B (In the project properties)?
