GDB Monitor Commands in CLion

Question

I am trying to debug an embedded project using remote gdb. My system:

• Target: ARM Cortex M0.
• SEGGER J-Link GDB V6.10 Command Line Version
• arm-none-eabi-gdb 10/7/201160616-cvs
• CLion 2016.2.2, Build # CL-162.1967.7
• Ubuntu 16.04

My .gdbinit file has the following:

target remote localhost:2331 #(I remove this line when debugging with CLion)
set verbose on
file "/path_to_output_file/blinky.elf"
monitor reset
break main

What bothered me for several days is that it works fine if I debug gdb directly from the terminal, but not when I use the debugger in CLion. In CLion, I get an error:

"monitor" is not supported for this purpose.

, "monitor reset" ( , ). CLION, , , , , , reset. , CLion, main().

CLion ? , ?

CLion - .gdbinit . , , . , monitor reset , .

:

• , GDB :

  # commands from .gdbinit
  target remote localhost:2331
  set verbose on
  file "/path_to_output_file/blinky.elf"
  monitor reset
  break main
  

• , GDB CLion .gdbinit :

  # commands from .gdbinit
  target remote localhost:2331
  set verbose on
  file "/path_to_output_file/blinky.elf"
  monitor reset
  break main
  
  # commands executed by CLion to attach
  target remote localhost:2331  # <- ERROR (A program is being debugged already)
  

• GDB CLion attach:

  # commands from .gdbinit
  set verbose on
  file "/path_to_output_file/blinky.elf"
  monitor reset  # <- ERROR not attached to remote gdbserver => unknown command
  
  # ... not executed due to the error above
  break main
  # commands executed by CLion to attach
  target remote localhost:2331
