Hello ST Support Team,

I am currently working with SPC5 Studio 6.0 and facing issues with debugging my SPC560B50 project. The IDE fails to launch with the error message:

"Error with command: gdb --version / Cannot run program 'gdb': Launching failed."

I have verified that SPC5 Studio 6.0 does not include the arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe file in its installation directories. Could you please clarify:

  • Does SPC5 Studio 6.0 require an external installation of the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain to provide GDB?

  • If so, which version of the toolchain is officially supported and recommended for SPC5 Studio 6.0?

  • Are there specific configuration steps to correctly link SPC5 Studio 6.0 with the external GDB executable?

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this issue is blocking my ability to debug projects with SPC5 Studio.

Thank you, Anand
