GDB Server Quit Unexpectedly

Windows 10 Pro - all up to date.

Brand new install of IDE 2.3.3 using Giga R1 board and all new IDE and associated SW install. Just using simple timer interval printing sample. Code verifys, compiles, and downloads fine with the exception of a warning about "Invalid DFU suffix signature".

Then error message indicating GDB server quit. Says I should "see gdb-server output for more details".

So where would this magic log file live so that I can inspect it and see what happened.

THe application is actually running fine as I can see the output in the serial monitor if I do a board reset.

BTW - for the programmer that created this useless message - please next time put your self in the place of a non-expert and provide a little more guidance.

THanks,

Shawn

Hi @spersels. This error occurs when using Arduino IDE's integrated sketch debugger:

https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2/tutorials/ide-v2-debugger

But you didn't mention anything about debugging in your post. So I suspect that you didn't actually intend to use that feature. It is expected that you will get this error if you attempt to start the debugger when you don't have a hardware debug probe (e.g., ST-LINK/V2) connected between your computer and the GIGA R1 WiFi board.

So, unless you do want to use the debugger, and you have a debug probe connected, just make sure to not click the "Start Debugging" button on the Arduino IDE toolbar:

Ha! I did indeed intend to use the debugger but I've been in the STM32CubeIDE world for a while using their Nucleo dev boards where the debugger HW is integrated on the same usb port. I'll work to get the additional debugger configuration setup here and see how it goes.

Thanks for your quick reply!

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.

Some of the Arduino boards do have a built-in or internal debug probe, but unfortunately the GIGA R1 WiFi is not one of them.
