How to install “gdb-arm-none-eabi” on Ubuntu 18.04?

in previous versions of Ubuntu, gdb for ARM Cortex processors was part of the package gdb-arm-none-eabi. Searching https://packages.ubuntu.com/ for gdb-arm-none-eabi for Ubuntu 18.04 returns no results. Am I missing something or why is there no GDB for ARM anymore?



Thanks in advance!

          As far as I can see, there are two options:




          • Install an old version (as pointed out by Chaos)

          • Install
            gdb-multiarch, which actually worked for me.

          I searched for and found that package in Synaptic package manager.
          Just install synaptic and search for it.
          You can find it in the software store or by sudo apt-get install synaptic

          • Are you sure that you are on 18.04 since it does not show any results here: packages.ubuntu.com/… nor via apt-cache search gdb-arm-none-eabi

          • Yes I just installed it 2 days ago. Did you try searching in synaptic ?

          • It is a headless machine, so no X environment -> no synaptic. Also, "apt-cache search gdb-arm-none-eabi" should list the package, but there is none. Have you tried to search it online via packages.ubuntu.com (the link in my previous comment points to the search with bionic pre-selected)? What's the version of the package you find with synaptic?

          • Oh yes I understand now! I have added the trusty repository, that's why I found it in synaptic. You could do the same and then use apt-get to install the package. I tried it in terminal and found the package. The version is 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1+1

          I had the same question, and googled some more. It seems that with modern GDB you no longer need a GDB for your specific architecture. Just use GDB.



          (seems to work on my older 16.04 workstation as well. I've been typing arm-none-eabi-gdb all those years, while just "gdb" would've worked just as well! .....)

          • Are you using gdb or gdb-multiarch in Ubuntu?

          • Plain "gdb" does not work (produces "warning: Architecture rejected target-supplied description"), you need "gdb-multiarch".

          I had the same issue with Ubuntu 18.04.
          To install “gcc-arm-none-eabi” on Ubuntu 18.04.




          sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi




          Using this command system install all binary into /usr/bin folder. But Some binaries are not found here. so, I am using its alternative way as below. it's working for me.



          If you want to use below arm-none-eabi utility.




          arm-none-eabi-gdb



          arm-none-eabi-as



          arm-none-eabi-objcopy




          Download the ARM-GCC toolchain from gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc



          I have downloaded "gnu-mcu-eclipse-arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618-centos64" for my x64 System.



          After downloaded successfully Extract the compressed file. Go to




          /gnu-mcu-eclipse-arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618-centos64/gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc/6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618/bin




          Copy the GDB and objcopy into /usr/bin Directory




          sudo cp arm-none-eabi-gdb /usr/bin/



          sudo cp arm-none-eabi-objcopy /usr/bin/




          After copy you can use the GCC and GDB.

            Oh yes I understand now! I have added the trusty repository, that's why I found it in synaptic. You could do the same and then use apt-get to install the package. I tried it in terminal and found the package. The version is 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1+1

            I had the same question, and googled some more. It seems that with modern GDB you no longer need a GDB for your specific architecture. Just use GDB.



            (seems to work on my older 16.04 workstation as well. I've been typing arm-none-eabi-gdb all those years, while just "gdb" would've worked just as well! .....)

            I had the same issue with Ubuntu 18.04.
            To install “gcc-arm-none-eabi” on Ubuntu 18.04.




            sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi




            Using this command system install all binary into /usr/bin folder. But Some binaries are not found here. so, I am using its alternative way as below. it's working for me.



            If you want to use below arm-none-eabi utility.




            arm-none-eabi-gdb



            arm-none-eabi-as



            arm-none-eabi-objcopy




            Download the ARM-GCC toolchain from gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc



            I have downloaded "gnu-mcu-eclipse-arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618-centos64" for my x64 System.



            After downloaded successfully Extract the compressed file. Go to




            /gnu-mcu-eclipse-arm-none-eabi-gcc-6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618-centos64/gnu-mcu-eclipse/arm-none-eabi-gcc/6.3.1-1.1-20180331-0618/bin




            Copy the GDB and objcopy into /usr/bin Directory




            sudo cp arm-none-eabi-gdb /usr/bin/



            sudo cp arm-none-eabi-objcopy /usr/bin/




            After copy you can use the GCC and GDB.
