+##Debugging Tools

+

+These tools are for debugging your firmware, etc. before flashing. Theoretically, it can save your flash memory from wearing out. However, these tool do not work 100% for the Planck firmware.

+

+### `gdb` for AVR

+`gdb` has a simulator for AVR but it does not support all instructions (like WDT), so it immediately crashes when running the Planck firmware (because `lufa.c` disables the WDT in the first few lines of execution). But it can still be useful in debugging example code and test cases, if you know how to use it.

+

+```

+$ cd ~/src

+$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git

+$ cd binutils-gdb

+$ ./bootstrap

+$ mkdir obj-avr

+$ cd obj-avr

+$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-static

+$ make

+$ make install

+```

+

+

+### `simulavr`

+`simulavr` is an AVR simulator.  It runs the complied AVR elf's. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects.

+

+This one is a major pain in the butt because it has a lot of dependencies and it is almost always buggy.  I will do my best to explain it but... it was hard to figure out. A few things need to be changed in the 'Makefile' to make it work in `cygwin`.

+

+

+```

+$ cd ~/src

+$ git clone https://github.com/Traumflug/simulavr.git

+$ cd simulavr

+$ ./bootstrap

+$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static --disable-tcl --disable-doxygen-doc

+```

+ Edit `src/Makefile.am` now so that `-no-undefined` is included (I did this by removing the SYS_MINGW conditional surrounding `libsim_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined` and  `libsimulavr_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined \ libsimulavr_la_LIBADD += $(TCL_LIB)`. Also, `$(EXEEXT)` is added after `kbdgentables` in two places.

+$ make install
