4.6.3.2.3 Single Stepping
  1. Connect GDB to the GDB Agent as described in Section 4.6.3.2.1 and load a program to the device.
  2. After the debugger has stopped the program at a breakpoint, you can step through the code:
    • To execute the source line, type next. next does not step into functions, it executes the complete function and stops on the line following the function call.
    • To execute the next source line and step into functions, type step.
    • To execute the next instruction, type nexti.
    • To execute the next instruction and step into functions, type stepi.
