GDB configuration file syntax gdbstub.ini

The GDB stub is an on-target executable which uses debugging hooks provided by the Symbian platform to provide the debugging API expected by the GNU debugger (GDB).

The GDB stub can be initialised using a configuration file. The file is primarily used to configure the way that the GDB stub communicates with the host. The configuration file must be located in c:\gdbstub\gdbstub.ini.

An example configuraton file is given below. It configures the stub to support a serial connection on device port 2 with a connection rate of 9600 baud.

[COMMSERV]
PDD=EUART%d
LDD=ECOMM
CSY=ECUART
PORT=2
RATE=9600

For an IR connection through port 2 at the same rate simply replace the CSY line as shown below:

CSY=IRCOMM
