debug-gdb-openocd
Helps developers download firmware and debug crashes on ESP32 chips using GDB and OpenOCD tools.
Installation
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent that can run commands.
What this skill does
What it does:
- Starts a debugging session using GDB and OpenOCD to debug Cortex-M microcontroller boards
- Automatically finds GDB and OpenOCD on your computer
- Downloads your firmware to the chip and stops it so you can inspect what is happening
- Lets you set breakpoints, watch variables, and see the call stack
- Can also attach to a running chip or examine crash information
- Saves your debugging setup for next time
When to use it:
- You have a firmware file with debugging symbols and want to step through code
- You need to check what values variables have at a certain point
- Your program crashed and you want to see where it stopped and what the registers contain
- You want to attach to a chip that is already running without restarting it
