STM32 GDB Debugger Overview

STM32 GDB Debugger MCP server connects an AI agent to STM32 hardware through ARM-capable GDB and a GDB server such as OpenOCD, J-Link GDB Server, or st-util. It exposes tools for flashing, execution control, breakpoints, memory and register inspection, RTOS analysis, fault diagnosis, logging, and profiling, returning structured evidence rather than raw GDB output. Use it when firmware is running on a real STM32 target and you want repeatable debugging workflows, decoded HardFault analysis, or multi-board sessions. The server runs locally over stdio and requires the relevant GDB and probe software on PATH.

Primary Use Cases for STM32 GDB Debugger:
  • Flash and run STM32 firmware on a connected board
  • Diagnose HardFaults and map fault addresses to source
  • Inspect FreeRTOS tasks, stacks, and queues
  • Decode peripheral registers using SVD files
