Introduction
============
This tool can utilize a crash log on a PC to simulate a set of GDB server functionalities,
enabling the use of GDB to debug the context of a NuttX crash.
The script directory is located in ``tools/minidumpserver.py``.
Usage
=====
We can use ``-h`` to get help information:
.. code-block:: bash
$ usage: minidumpserver.py [-h] -e ELFFILE -l LOGFILE [-a {arm,arm-a,arm-t,riscv,esp32s3,xtensa}] [-p PORT] [--debug]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e ELFFILE, --elffile ELFFILE
elffile
-l LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE
logfile
-a {arm,arm-a,arm-t,riscv,esp32s3,xtensa}, --arch {arm,arm-a,arm-t,riscv,esp32s3,xtensa}
select architecture, if not use this options, The architecture will be inferred from the logfile
-p PORT, --port PORT gdbport
--debug
Example
=======
1. Use ./tools/configure.sh esp32s3-devkit:nsh and disable `CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MW`.
2. `make -j`
3. Flash image to esp32s3-devkit.
4. Run `minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200` and reset esp32s3-devkit.
5. Use `mw -1` on nsh to trigger a crash.
6. Get the crash log from minicom and save it to `crash.log`.

How to add new architecture
===========================
The main objective is to establish the sequence of registers in GDB,
aligning the register names in the crash log with the order of registers in GDB.
This alignment will facilitate the creation of a new architecture's GDB server.
