Feature request: remote JLinkGDBServer

Open danielschenk opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I sometimes need to do remote debugging, for which I connected a J-Link to a Raspberry Pi which is running the ARM version of JLinkGDBServer. I would like to be able to create a launch config which does not start a local instance of the server, but instead takes an IP address and passes that to gdb instead.

It would be even nicer if serverpath could be used somehow to start the server on the Pi via SSH.

I think this is probably a bit too niche of a feature to be a priority - that said - I think you can probably use a pre-launch task to do the launching of the GDB server and then use the external server type to connect to that one.
