Degugging embedded software is not easy. There is no terminal to display what is going on. Engineers need to implement smart mechanisms to visualise the flow of their code and spot errors without impacting the performance and functionality of the original software. The simplest techniques used in embedded debugging are blinking LEDs and UART loggin…

In the previous post we talked about Red Bear Lab BLE Nano platform and how to program it from mbed or Arduino. In this post we will share a detailed description of how to program and debug the BLE Nano using an open toolchain based on eclipse and GNU gcc. These notes are based on Nordic’s tutorial Development with GCC and Eclipse. This is a long…
