Subject: openocd+gdb combo
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 16:11:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR07MB8518FE70C214E16C4846B662863C9@SJ0PR07MB8518.namprd07.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have written a relatively complex but very useful external loader+gdb python script for a piece of memory connected to one of the many chips we use.
I can now use openocd to connect and subsequently gdb with the aforementioned loader and script to read/write/erase !

However It is still a pain to have to start an openocd session before being able to launch the gdb command.

Is there a known way to package openocd and gdb together so that I can get convenient calling conventions like bellow?
./read_the_thing > memory_dump.bin

How would you recommend creating portable installations of gdb so that they can be shipped quickly to the unfortunate windows users?
I can imagine writing an extra tool that manages the sequencing of openocd+gdb but I would need executables I can run without installation to make it palatable for my colleagues.

Best Regards,
Maximilian Schneider
