# valinor(1)

generate debugger project files, and launch a debugger, to debug an ELF file

## NAME

**valinor** - generate debugger project files, and launch a debugger, to debug an ELF file

## SYNOPSIS

**valinor** \[**--tool** *TOOL*\] \[**--project-dir** *PROJECT\_DIR*\] \[**--no-open**\] **-–target** *TARGET* **executable**

**valinor** **–-version**

## DESCRIPTION

**valinor** is designed to be used as a proxy debug command for **yotta** targets to provide as their scripts.debug command.

## OPTIONS

- \-t, --tool *TOOL*

  debug tool (IDE) to generate for (if omitted, a debug project will be generated for an IDE detected on your system, defaulting to opening a GDB debug session, if no known IDEs are detected)

- \-d, --project-dir *PROJECT\_DIR*

  directory in which to generate any necessary project files (default: directory of the executable argument)

- \-n, --no-open

  do not open debug session (generate the necessary files to enable debugging and print command to proceed)

- \-–target *TARGET*

  target board to generate project file for (e.g. K64F) (this name is passed to project\_generator - any name it accepts will work)

- \--version

  print version and exit

## YOTTA TARGET DEFINITIONS

To use valinor to add debug support to a yotta target description, add the following to your target.json file (replacing K64F with the project\_generator target ID for the chip/board on your target):

-

  ```
  "scripts":{
      "debug": ["valinor", "--target", "frdm-k64f", "$program"]
  }
  ```
