AVR-gdb for dummies needed ;-)

[Outis]

Hi,

can someone help me to create a good avr template project with avr-gdb support, please? At the moment, codeblocks still generates an "atmega8.exe" file -.- (but programming the device works, too).

Also I unfortunately need debugging today . Since I've never user a debugger before, I' ve no idea what to do and  all these gdb-topics are all Greek to me.

Thanks.

Hi, What version of codeblocks are you running? There is an AVR project wizard, which will sort out the filename extension for you. Get the latest nightly build to get the AVR project wizard.

The debugger settings are global, and are not set on a per-project basis, which is a shame.

However, to get avr-gdb working correctly you can follow another thread:

Ah! Thank you, I had't downloaded nightlys for some weeks, so I didn't realize that C::B got so much better again

Well...

simulavr after gdb connect & debug start:

if(UCSRA &(1 << RXC)) /*polling usart input*/

ARGH, why must nearly everything fail? I hate it...
