VisualGDB is a Visual Studio extension that enables you to develop and debug embedded applications, Linux applications, and Android applications directly from within the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. Instead of using separate tools and potentially juggling multiple environments, VisualGDB integrates the entire development workflow into Visual Studio.

Here[SQ]s what it offers :

*

Cross-platform development:

It bridges the gap between Visual Studio (primarily a Windows IDE) and various other platforms, letting you build and debug code for embedded systems (using microcontrollers like ARM Cortex-M, STM32, etc.), Linux systems (including Raspberry Pi, etc.), and Android devices.

*

Simplified debugging:

It provides advanced debugging capabilities, including remote debugging, allowing you to step through your code running on a target device as if it were running locally.

*

Project management:

VisualGDB streamlines project creation and management, simplifying the often complex process of configuring build environments for cross-compilation.

*

Integration with Visual Studio:

It integrates seamlessly into the Visual Studio interface, meaning you use familiar tools and workflows.

*

Support for various toolchains:

It supports a variety of compilers, linkers, and debuggers, making it flexible and adaptable to different projects and hardware.

In short, VisualGDB aims to make cross-platform development easier for developers who are comfortable using Visual Studio by providing a familiar, integrated environment for building and debugging applications targeting systems beyond the Windows desktop. It[SQ]s a commercial product, though a trial version is available.
