40 <p>My 4th semester involves ARM programming. And proprietary
41tooling (Keil C). But we don&#39;t do that here.</p>
42
43<h3 id="Building">Building</h3>
44
45<p>Assembling and linking ARM binaries on non-ARM architecture
46devices is fairly trivial. I went along with the GNU cross
47bare metal toolchain binutils, which provides <code>arm-as</code> and
48<code>arm-ld</code> (among a bunch of other utils that I don&#39;t care
49about for now). </p>
50
51<p>Assemble <code>.s</code> files with:</p>
52
53<pre><code class="language-shell">arm-none-eabi-as main.s -g -march=armv8.1-a -o main.out
54</code></pre>
55
56<p>The <code>-g</code> flag generates extra debugging information that
57<code>gdb</code> picks up. The <code>-march</code> option establishes target
58architecture.</p>
59
60<p>Link <code>.o</code> files with:</p>
61
62<pre><code class="language-shell">arm-none-eabi-ld main.out -o main
63</code></pre>
64
65<h3 id="Running%20(and%20Debugging)">Running (and Debugging)</h3>
66
67<p>Things get interesting here. <code>gdb</code> on your x86 machine
68cannot read nor execute binaries compiled for ARM. So, we
69simulate an ARM processor using <code>qemu</code>. Now qemu allows you
70to run <code>gdbserver</code> on startup. Connecting our local <code>gdb</code>
71instance to <code>gdbserver</code> gives us a view into the program&#8217;s
72execution. Easy!</p>
73
74<p>Run <code>qemu</code>, with <code>gdbserver</code> on port <code>1234</code>, with our ARM
75binary, <code>main</code>:</p>
76
77<pre><code class="language-shell">qemu-arm -singlestep -g 1234 main
78</code></pre>
79
80<p>Start up <code>gdb</code> on your machine, and connect to <code>qemu</code>&#8217;s
81<code>gdbserver</code>:</p>
82
83<pre><code>(gdb) set architecture armv8-a
84(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
85(gdb) file main
86Reading symbols from main... # yay!
87</code></pre>
88
89<h3 id="GDB%20Enhanced">GDB Enhanced</h3>
90
91<p><code>gdb</code> is cool, but it&#39;s not nearly as comfortable as well
92fleshed out emulators&#47;IDEs like Keil. Watching registers,
93CPSR and memory chunks update <em>is</em> pretty fun. </p>
94
95<p>I came across <code>gdb</code>&#39;s TUI mode (hit <code>C-x C-a</code> or type <code>tui
96enable</code> at the prompt). TUI mode is a godsend. It highlights
97the current line of execution, shows you disassembly
98outputs, updated registers, active breakpoints and more.</p>
99
100<p><em>But</em>, it is an absolute eyesore.</p>

102<p>Say hello to <a href="https://github.com/hugsy/gef">GEF</a>! &#8220;GDB
103Enhanced Features&#8221; teaches our old dog some cool new tricks.
104Here are some additions that made my ARM debugging
105experience loads better:</p>
106
107<ul>
108<li>Memory watches</li>
109<li>Register watches, with up to 7 levels of deref (overkill,
110I agree)</li>
111<li>Stack tracing</li>
112</ul>
113
114<p>And its pretty! See for yourself:</p>

1My 4th semester involves ARM programming. And proprietary
2tooling (Keil C). But we don't do that here.
3
4### Building
5
6Assembling and linking ARM binaries on non-ARM architecture
7devices is fairly trivial. I went along with the GNU cross
8bare metal toolchain binutils, which provides `arm-as` and
9`arm-ld` (among a bunch of other utils that I don't care
10about for now).
11
12Assemble `.s` files with:
13
14```shell
15arm-none-eabi-as main.s -g -march=armv8.1-a -o main.out
16```
17
18The `-g` flag generates extra debugging information that
19`gdb` picks up. The `-march` option establishes target
20architecture.
21
22Link `.o` files with:
23
24```shell
25arm-none-eabi-ld main.out -o main
26```
27
28### Running (and Debugging)
29
30Things get interesting here. `gdb` on your x86 machine
31cannot read nor execute binaries compiled for ARM. So, we
32simulate an ARM processor using `qemu`. Now qemu allows you
33to run `gdbserver` on startup. Connecting our local `gdb`
34instance to `gdbserver` gives us a view into the program's
35execution. Easy!
36
37Run `qemu`, with `gdbserver` on port `1234`, with our ARM
38binary, `main`:
39
40```shell
41qemu-arm -singlestep -g 1234 main
42```
43
44Start up `gdb` on your machine, and connect to `qemu`'s
45`gdbserver`:
46
47```
48(gdb) set architecture armv8-a
49(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
50(gdb) file main
51Reading symbols from main... # yay!
52```
53
54### GDB Enhanced
55
56`gdb` is cool, but it's not nearly as comfortable as well
57fleshed out emulators/IDEs like Keil. Watching registers,
58CPSR and memory chunks update *is* pretty fun.
59
60I came across `gdb`'s TUI mode (hit `C-x C-a` or type `tui
61enable` at the prompt). TUI mode is a godsend. It highlights
62the current line of execution, shows you disassembly
63outputs, updated registers, active breakpoints and more.
64
65*But*, it is an absolute eyesore.
66
67Say hello to [GEF](https://github.com/hugsy/gef)! "GDB
68Enhanced Features" teaches our old dog some cool new tricks.
69Here are some additions that made my ARM debugging
70experience loads better:
71
72 - Memory watches
73 - Register watches, with up to 7 levels of deref (overkill,
74 I agree)
75 - Stack tracing
76
77And its pretty! See for yourself:

81### Editing
82
83Vim, with `syntax off` because it
84dosen't handle GNU ARM syntax too well.
