Where do I configure the GDB server log level

Hello!

Do you mean where you activate the gdb server log? That's in the debug configuration "Log to file".

Or if you meant how to activate the ST-LINK gdbserver to add commands such as "verbose"? In that case you can find it at:

C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.6.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.6.0.202101291314\tools\bin

If I misunderstand anything about the question please let me know!

Thank you! I found the (not same) path on my PC and there is a file called config.txt. The relevant line is wholly commented out:

###############################################################

# -l <Log-Level>   : Logging level between 0 & 31

#     0      Disables logging

#     >=1     Enables logging of error messages

#     >=2     Adds warning messages

#     >=4     Adds communication specific messages

#     >=8     Adds all information messages

#     >=16     Adds all HW specific messages

###############################################################

#-l 31

so it must be using some default value. Weird how it got commented out. I changed it to 4 but it still says 31 (on this PC). So it must be using some other value. In the same directory is a batch file st link gdbserver.bat which contains

@echo off

cmd /K "ST-LINK_gdbserver.exe -c config.txt || echo GDB server exited"

The Console output says

I wonder what the "Failed to set com freq, status 0" means. Anyway, this is the PC on which it is running ok.

I find my stuff under

C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.4.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.6.0.202101291314\tools\bin

even though Cube IDE is v1.6.1

but editing the config.txt file there does nothing.

This is the output from the PC with log level =1

Starting server with the following options:

and this is the config.txt file section (btw found at

C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.4.0\STM32CubeIDE\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.stlink-gdb-server.win32_1.6.0.202101291314\tools\bin )

BUT maybe this refers to a completely different log, not the logging level to the Cube IDE Console.

Would anybody have an answer to this? Where is the logging level configured?

Is there nobody here familiar with Cube IDE and STLINK V3?

This is supposed to be a ST support site, no?
