Re: Debugging a specific application
Not sure if it helps, but the built-in apps can be easily debugged, so could you perhaps include your application as a custom app, selected via the NuttX Kconfig so it gets built in, then start it from the nsh? A workaround maybe, but might help? On 30/11/2022, 05:40, "Roberto Bucher" wrote: Hi I'm working on my nucleo-144 board, trying to get a microROS working again under NuttX.

Re: Debugging a specific application
Hi, If your OS is built in monolithic mode (no protected mode) then applications are just routines, so you can put a breakpoint in any app routine and let it run until there. To replace nsh by your app, do make menuconfig, menu RTOS features, menu Tasks and scheduling, text config "Application entry point". But it is not necessary to replace the default app, you can launch it with nsh and still hit a breakpoint in your launched app. Sebastien On 11/30/22 06:40, Roberto Bucher wrote: Hi I'm working on my nucleo-144 board, trying to get a microROS working again under NuttX.

Re: Debugging a specific application
Danke Sebastien The application (microros) is configured and compiled by the nuttx generation. But if the routine is in the shell, how can I start it from the debugger?
