Please note that it is not the nost recent: the gdb7.exe which is shipped with the STVD 4.3.9 (which is the latest available I think) has a gdb7.exe with the following version: gdb 4.17, ST7 v3.10.2 (Dec 3 2010) However the in the sources above are from the 3.9.16 version according to the line 2847 in the top.c: fprintf_filtered (stream, "gdb %s, ST7 v3.9.16 (%s)", version, __DATE__); There is a guy who have managed to get the latest sources from ST after a long procedure, but he have not shared it with me yet. Also this gdb source is heavilly windows oriented. I have not been able to get it compiled under Linux, and the hw abstraction parts were totaly left out from it. (They ship them as a separate dll and they did not wanted to opensource it I think.) Using this gdb with modern IDEs (Eclipse CDT, QtCreator) is not really possible because it is an ancient version (the original version was released ~2000), and it lacks the MI interface. Recently there were a guy on the openOCD mailing list who started looking at adding support for the ST Link's SWIM debugger to the openOCD. I would be pretty happy if there would be a preferably recent gdb+openocd based debugger for this architecture.
