### GDB COMMANDS ###
###################### #############################
###################################################################
QEMU CONFIGURATION
qemu must be started with "-s" option
(shorthand for "-gdb tcp::1234")
#
# GDB PART
#
SYMBOL FILES
add-symbol-file /path/to/Hello.debug 0x... -s .data 0x...
CONNECTION
- source gdbscript
(if a gdbscript is created, which contains
add-symbol-file commandos)
- target remote localhost:1234
DISCONNECTION
- detach
break connection with target, target resumes execution
GDB Target
(RSP Client) (RSP Server)
D
O------------------------------>O
O RSP exchange
O<------------------------------O
OK
-disconnect
Simply break connection. Target stays at the point where execution terminated previously
Reconnection(target remote): resume debugging at the point where the previous connection was broken
BREAKPOINTS
- b CoreHandleProtocol || or OutputString
- break *0x65fe447 || set breakpoint at address
- delete 2 || delete breakpoint no 2
- break sampleApp.c:nn=LineNumber
INFORMATION
- info
address SYM || Get address for symbol SYM
symbol ADDR || Show symbol at specified address
all-registers || all registers & their contents
breakpoints
files || get Entry point + sections
files || Names of targets & files being debugged
functions || all function names in Program
functions UefiMain || show where this function occurs
line
types [regex] || list all types or with regex
args || Argument variables of current stack frame
locals || local variables of current stack frame
variables || all gloabl & static variables
CONTROL FLOW
- c || continue
- next || move only one step forward
- bt || print back_trace of all stack frames
- stop || stop program until it reaches a different source line
FILES (perhaps not applicable when debugging with QEMU)
- file MemtestEfi.efi || load file ...no debugging symbols found...done
- file || unload files
LIST
- list || list specified function or line
gdb --tui
- layout asm
- layout reg
- layout src

VARIABLES
info locals
info variables
info args
|| Set is the same as print except that the expression's value is not printed
|| and is not put in the value history.
|| if your program has a variable width, you get an error if you try to set
|| a new value with just ‘set width=13’, because GDB has the command set width
|| To avoid to set silently general variables to invalid values, ALWAYS use
|| set var x=4
print x=4
set x=4 or set variable x=4
whatis x -> type = double
