Description mariusz_m 2016-11-04 19:19:51 UTC
Since NB 8.1 I receive the following message box appear when I type "c" (or "continue") in debugger console:
"Upgrade your GDB to use The Debugger Console"

After clicked OK the NB normally stops in main() and I can debug my program normally.
This occurs only on remote gdb connection (ARM tool chain), never on MinGW or cygwin.
Today I updated compiler to the latest stable version and still the message appears.

https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2016-q3-update

BTW working with remote gdb is far from perfection. For example, I need to use the debugger console and type continue, otherwise NB is not aware the target is halted after debug session was started. Also once released (Run) remote target cannot be paused. I tried this also on Ubuntu and Pause doesn't work on Linux neither (I heard this is Windows only issue).
I use gdb script (path set in project options) to connect to target gdb server.
I don't know what else information I can provide.

BR,
Mariusz

Will show information message^
The current debugger version need to be updated to support The Debugger Console fully. \nThe IDE UI can not be update in time but restricted functionality is supported.

User can use "Do not show again" checkbox to hide this message
