An in-circuit debugger allows to physically halt the CPU inside a microcontroller, single-step it and view all the variables at any given time. It is a powerful tool to debug software running on a microcontroller. Miosix uses GDB and [http://openocd.sourceforge.net openocd] for in-circuit debugging.

To start using Miosix you need a patched version of the GCC compiler called Miosix Toolchain and git to download the kernel sources. Optionally you can also use an IDE to simplify code development, and an in-circuit debugger to speed up bug fixing.

Getting started

This section will guide you through the installation of the minimum requirements to start using Miosix: installing the compiler, and downloading the kernel.
