How to change openOCD Debugging Configuration startup settings?

[Ahmed-Bilal-01]

I want to have a customized launcher for which I want to change the default values and set them to my required values.

      ` workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdbServerExecutable", openocdPath);
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdbServerOther", "-f \"" + configPath.replace("\\", "/") + "\"");

        // Set the additional OpenOCD settings
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd/gdb.openocd.doInitialReset", false);
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd/gdb.openocd.doPreRunReset", false);
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdb.openocd.doPreRunReset", false);
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdb.openocd.enableSemihosting", false);
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdb.openocd.init.other", "monitor reset\nmonitor halt\nbreak main");
        workingCopy.setAttribute("ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd.gdb.openocd.preRun.other", "jump main");`
        
        Also to turn off last Continue option.

openOCD and cfg paths are updated but Startup options are not changing as required and remains on default.

@ilg-ul , Would appreciate if I can get quick response its urgent for me.

I'm not sure what kind of response you expect.

If you want to customise the behaviour of the plugin by editing the source code and recompiling, you should be able to navigate the code and find where various objects are initialised.

Some might even be initialised from values in the global configuration file, but I don't remember details, you have to figure out yourself.

Also please note that on many fields the values are persistent (for a project or a workspace, I don't remember which), so if you edit them and later create a new configuration, the same values are used.

This is what I did in the past to override the default values for some settings in configuration dialogs like this. It usually involved saving the default settings to the workspace and/or global settings, then making the desired changes, then saving things again, when looking at the differences and seeing if these could be configured such that they would override the defaults from the Eclipse global and/or workspace settings. In cases where this doesn't work then you might need to fork and customise the actual plugins.

If you download and install Microchip SoftConsole (I used to work on it) from here:

• https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/fpgas-and-plds/fpga-and-soc-design-tools/soc-fpga/softconsole

Then look at the following files (I'm referencing the Windows version but the same files exist in in the Linux version) you can see how the sort of customization that I describe above was implemented:

• C:\Microchip\SoftConsole-v2022.2-RISC-V-747\eclipse\eclipse.ini
• C:\Microchip\SoftConsole-v2022.2-RISC-V-747\eclipse\plugin_customization.ini

As I say, not every setting can be configured in this way but maybe the ones that you are interested in can be.

As mentioned on site,
ilg.gnumcueclipse.debug.gdbjtag.openocd/gdb.server.enableSemihosting= false to make it uncheck in launch configuration and similarly for other props as well but none is changing.

[TommyMurphyTM1234]

As I said, in my experience, some configuration option default values can be overridden from a custom Eclipse configuration file. Others cannot and changing their defaults may require customization of the plugins themselves. The Microchip SoftConsole example that I gave shows how some dedbug launch configuration settings can be tweaked from a custom Eclipse plugin configuration INI file.
