Body

• Ubuntu 22.04
• using avr-gdb (GDB version 12.1)
• avr-gcc (gcc version 11.4)
• run my program and the file that generate is pcl_digtest.elf

elena@Elena:~/Documents/1288/pclqube$ file pcl_digtest.elf
pcl_digtest.elf: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Atmel AVR 8-bit, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

When I try to use GDB to debug the program I receive this error:

ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected GDB output from command "-exec-run". Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
The program '/home/elena/Documents/1288/pclqube/pcl_digtest.elf' has exited with code 42 (0x0000002a).

any idea?

thanks
