As the firmware becomes more complex it would be extremely valuable to have in-circuit debugging capability to aid in firmware debugging. The goal is to used avr-gdb or an equivalent to get access to register details and allow setting of hardware breakpoints and program single step execution.

Here are the requirements for enabling in-circuit debugging:

  1. avr-gdb binary (from avr)
  2. avarice gdb server for connecting to device
  3. JTAG ICE debugger
