Do I need to install gdb separatly for ChibiStudio?

[fseuhs]

I have downloaded the latest ChibiStudio. Opened the STM32F429 demo project.
Compilation worked without errors. After setting up a debug configuration, connecting the board, debugger start reports: "Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed".
Manually searching for "gdb.exe" was not sucessful.
What is wrong? do I have to install the gdb.exe separate?

Hello,

The project should have already a debug configuration In ChibiStudio (see the ./debug directory inside the project, it is the .launch file).

If you need to create your own configuration then make sure to specify arm-none-eabi-gdb as debugger in the "debugger" tab. The GDB executable is present with that name.

Hello Giovanni,
thank you for your answer, the debugger starts now!
I don't really know what I made wrong the first time I tried, and made my own debug configuration.
Maybe starting ChibiStudio again with the opened project, the project launch was found.

But the next problem after loading:

What is the "monitor"? The USB-semihosting?

Thanks for your answer.

"monitor" are commands sent directly to the GDB server, OpenOCD in this case, very strange because everything is supposed to work out of the box.

Are you launching ChibiStudio using the provided link or you launch directly Eclipse? you need to use the link because some PATHs are enforced before launching Eclipse.
