Debugging in Arduino

[hellsnomad]

Dear all, is there any program which can help in debugging the program?

Also are there any simulators for the Arduino?

Tnx

I am using AVR Dragon/AVR Studio for debugging Arduino programs. Works quite well.

[liuzengqiang]

felis, does someone need a programmer to debug? I'm considering it. Is the software free? Thanks.

[felis]

AVR Studio is free. AVR Dragon is a debugger as well as programmer.

[liuzengqiang]

So if I had the AVR Dragon I would be able to poke around in arduino SRAM and Flash, stack and hash pointers, flags and unassembled code, correct?

[felis]

What is hash pointer?

I have relatively good luck debugging Arduino sketches (well, libraries) by compiling on a unix system and poking at them with a standard debugger (gdb, etc)  You have to create a phony framework of arduino core routines, and watch out for differences in the size of "int", but it is pretty helpful...

noticed the other discussion in this subgroup - http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,50790.0.html

Yes

Awesome! I'm saving up money right now! Dragon, see you in 10 years!

I'm saving up ... Dragon, see you in 10 years!

A dragon is only about $50...
I wish the debug protocol were public, and an Arduino could be used to debug another arduino...

[graynomad]

an Arduino could be used to debug another arduino...

That's exactly what I'm working on right now, well not a debugger as per the Dragon/JTAG, but a monitor.

the arduino create wont load

@thehightechighcoder, you have asked your question in a seven years dead Thread. Seven years ago there was no such thing as Arduino Create.

There is a special section of the Forum for Arduino Create - ask you question there.

And if you want help you should provide a lot more information about what you have tried to do and exactly what happened.
