Opella-LD software debug support is provided via the open-source OpenOCD standard and provides fast code download to the target system with control and interrogation support for all core and system resources including registers and memory. OpenOCD allows debugging via GNU GDB and Ashling’s RiscFree, Eclipse-CDT based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Debugger. Note: the Synopsys ARC Core MetaWare Development Toolkit (MWDT) including the ARC MDB or MIDE debuggers are not supported by Opella-LD. Please use Opella-XD.
