System Workbench STM32 Toolchain

Posted by sbertrand on 2018-08-31 23:03

Hi,

The IDE for STM32 provides a bundle toolchain package : st-gnu-arm-gcc-7-2017-q4-major_gdb-5_4-2016q3-win32.zip.
The changes file informs of the following :
‘’This package content is strictly similar to the package delivered by ARM on the
following website except for GDB binaries.
-> https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloadsQuestion

GDB binaries used by System Workbench for STM32 remain stuck on version 7.10
until GDB 7.12 support is fully validated.
The following binaries are picked from GNU ARM 5.4 delivery:
- arm-none-eabi-gdb
- arm-none-eabi-gdb-py’’

How would i find information about the validation of GDB 7.12 mentioned there ?

Checking ARM GNU Toolchain, the 2018 Q2 update has GDB 8.1.
Is there a plan to validate this version of GDB as well ?
Is there any issue with using the new 2018 ARM GNU toolchain with its GDB ?

Regards,
Stan

Hi sbertrand,

Yes this is a well known limitation with the Eclipse version on which SystemWorkbench is based; supporting to GDB 7.12 requires an update of CDT + Eclipse.
This dual update is unfortunately not yet planned.

TBH I do not exactly know the impact of using GDB 8.1 with SystemWorkbench, feel free to give it a try by configuring the toolchain path from your project settings.
