v5gdb is a debugger backend for the VEX V5 platform that is compatible with GDB and LLDB. It uses a combination of hardware and software breakpoints to implement features like line-by-line stepping and user-defined breakpoints. Users are also given the ability to read program state such as the arguments passed to the active function or global variables.
- Implement a debug server usable by an instance of
gdb. - Support multiple methods of communication with a debugger client running on the user's PC.
- Implement non-invasive breakpoint handling compatible with all existing VEX runtimes.
- Remote management of dynamically-placed software breakpoints
- Single-stepping and hardware breakpoints
- On-device debugger setup via Rust and C APIs
- Easy to add to existing VEX projects, including vexide, PROS, and VEXcode projects.
This project implements a debug server that can communicate with a GDB-compatible client over various transport methods. For more information, see the project's wiki page.
