AVR debugwire in Linux


So, I have hooked up a ATtiny88, and am programming it with the Dragon AVR using ISP. I have also set up the build toolchain, using avrdude, and the gnu avr tools. Everything is working great.


Now I would like to do in-circuit debugging using the advertised debugwire which is also connected to the ISP and which the dragon supports. But which tools do I use? I see there is a avr-gdb, but it seems that I needs some kind of simulator, however I would like to debug in-circuit on the real MCU. Is this possible?


Thanks in advance.

Have a look at avarice. It's man page also has something to say about debugwire. I don't know if that'll be good news or bad, though.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
