Re: Debugging a specific application
Dont think about nuttx like you do with linux with isolated processes and apps loaded from disk files :) it's more like a *very* advanced set of arduino libs in most usual cases. (others dont hit me, I know this is extreme simplification.) if the microros app is compiled in your os image, then you can probably put a breakpoint on the microros_main() function, then launch microros with nsh, and your breakpoint will just trip. For that you need to connect to your nucleo stlink using openocd and gdb. There are tutorials around there, this is just about generic embedded debugging techniques.

Re: Debugging a specific application
Hi, mind to check if in menu Library Routines the option "Support Builtin Applications" is set? And if in menu Application Configuration -> NSH Libraray "Enable built-in applications" is set? regards Marc Rosen ZeitControl Cardsystems GmbH Siedlerweg 39 D-32429 Minden Tel.++49 (0)571 50 52 222 Fax.++49 (0)571 50 52 299 E-Mail ma...@zeitcontrol.de Am 01.12.2022 um 07:41 schrieb Roberto Bucher: Danke Sebastien The application (microros) is configured and compiled by the nuttx generation.

RE: Debugging a specific application
Thanks to all! I've put the entry point to my application and I can now debug it using the methods described in the NuttX documentation! This is probably the simplest way to debug a specific app. Best regards Roberto Inviato dal mio Galaxy Messaggio originale Da: Marc Rosen Data: 01/12/22 13:36 (GMT+01:00) A: dev@nuttx.apache.org Oggetto: Re: Debugging a specific application Hi, mind to check if in menu Library Routines the option "Support Builtin Applications" is set?
