ERROR: xtensa-lx106-elf-gdb.exe not found!

[perigalacticon]

I installed EspExceptionDecoder to Documents\Arduino\tools\EspExceptionDecoder\tool
which contains only EspExceptionDecoder.jar. When I try to start the decoder from the menu the output window shows the error: ERROR: xtensa-lx106-elf-gdb.exe not found! I am using v1.8.5 on Windows10 64bit. I have compiled for esp8266 and esp32 many times previously.

i have same issue. v1.0.6 was ok. i think there is something wrong in release v1.1.0

Same problem with Arduino 1.8.5 on Windows 8.

Seems to be an upstream problem from Arduno/ESP8266:
esp8266/Arduino#1659

Same issue, Arduino 1.8.5, ESP8266 2.4.1 installed via boards manager, tool installed as per documentation. Windows 10 build 17134.

I had a look in the ESP8266 library that the board manager installed, and sure enough GDB in not installed, here's what was in the gcc folder that ESP8266 2.4.1 contained.

This was the folder that worked for me:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\esp8266com\esp8266\tools\xtensa-lx106-elf\bin

try this.
