Did you try opkg update list and opkg install gdb?

Hello Jaski,

“opkg install gdb”

causes:

"unknown package ‘gdb’ "

Best regards

Hi

I tried this out. You are right. You need to create a custom image with gdb included in this.

Just curious - How did you perform this including where did you get the files:
“I copied g++, gcc, gdb and gdbserver from Raspberry to Colibri.” ?
Thx

Hi @EvanE !

Please note that this thread is old (2019).

Most probably by firing up a Raspberry Pi, installing the necessary packages, and copying the binaries (e.g. using scp) from the Rasp to the Colibri.

But please be aware that this is really not recommended. By doing this, your development setup will not be reproducible and this is a potentially big problem.

You should keep your development setup in a maintainable and reproducible way.
