GCC and GDB for native compiling and debugging

Hello  Przemek,

My Cortex-M platform is connected to PC via Ethernet.

Visual Studio copies the source files of my project to the Cortex-M and initiates on target compiling and linking.  

With PuTTY I can enter the directory on the target, and can start the application. That works. 

If I try to start debugging with Visual Studio it denies acces with the message:

 "gdb" could not be startet. It doesn't exist and must be installed.

And therfore I need a gdb for installing on the Cortex-M (VF61).

My Cortex-M4 developement board is "Toradex Colibri Evaluation Board Rev. 3.2.".

Don't know if it has a meaning to you. 

If I need a none-GUI application for a Ubuntu PC, then I use Visual Studio in the same way, that works fine, because gcc and gdb exist on the Ubuntu-PC. But that is another matter. That has nothing to do with Cortex-M. 

Thanks and best regards :-)
