Debugging Embedded Targets with pyOCD and Eclipse #Embedded @McuOnEclipse
If doing embedded development, then the debugging solution is probably the most important single tool in the development chain. Because every debugging probe has its pros and cons, it’s best to have several debug probes to get the job done in all aspects. Erich Styger Writes:
What is true for the hardware debugging probes, is true for the gdb client and server side. I’m using mostly the P&E, SEGGER and CMSIS-DAP plugins (e.g. NXP LinkServer) and OpenOCD from the Eclipse IDE side. But there are more choices, for example pyOCD.
pyOCD and Python
So far I have avoided to use pyOCD for several reasons, mostly because it is centered around ARM only I had issues to get it working because of the Python dependency. But as my usual Triumvirate of debugging solutions failed on something around semihosting, I wanted to give pyOCD another chance.
pyOCD is a Python based debugging tool for ARM Cortex microcontroller. pyOCD comes with many useful features, like command line flash programming , semihosting and ARM ITM SWO printing.
