And this appears to work! using fexplorer the gdb starts and my IR light flashes.
Unfortunately I do not have an IR adaptor on my PC only bluetooth. Does anybody know how to achieve a virtual serial connection. I know this is mentioned as a tool called Runstub in the Borland C Builder X development environment.
Can I
1) do something similar without the Borland tools?
or
2) Get an evaluation download, and if so which one?
I believe you can do this without the Borland tools. However if you download Borland C Builder X Enterprise edition trial, and unzip it, you will find gdbstub.sis and runstub.sis in a folder called
cbx1_enttrial_windows\resource\mobile\common
in a second zip file called
install_feature.zip
This saves installing the whole C Builder (no offence but I'm happy with the rest of my tool chain)
The above gdbstub.ini is installed when runstub.sis and gdbstub.sis are installed, replace it with one similar to the suggestion here
