Original question:

CCS: Enable C/C++ breakpoint (For GDB use)

CCS: How to create a debug configuration to run unit tests using gdb

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm trying to run some demo code (FreeRTOS demo using their windows simulator), with my PC as the target (eventually I plan to build this into off-target unit testing). I'm able to create an executable that runs on the PC, but I haven't been able to get a debug configuration setup to be able to debug via GDB. I've created a debug configuration, and chosen the exe, but Debug is still gray. Any ideas what I'm missing? 

Screenshots of my debug config (mostly set to defaults) are attached.

I've also tried a fresh download of minGW, pointed the GDB debugger explicitly to C:\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe, but I can't find any .gdbinit or gdb.ini.  

Thanks,

Katie

    This type of configuration is something that is not supported with CCS. The most common CCS + GDB configuration is using GDB to debug Linux applications running on a TI target:

    Regarding your error, I see the message "remote absolute path is not absolute". I've seen similar issues when the remote path is an absolute Windows path, much like in your setup. I am not sure if there is a resolution for it.

    Hopefully others in the community can chime in with their experiences.

    Thanks
