With the breakpoint established, you can link GDB to the
MATLAB®
process by using the GDB attach command, and specifying the
process ID (PID) returned by the
xmcImportFunctionSettings command when you set up the debug build mode, as
previously discussed. Use the following
command:(gdb) attach <PID>Important: After it is attached to GDB,
the MATLAB process will be suspended. You must use the
continue command to have the process resume running after
the gdb prompt is returned:
(gdb) continueAt this point you are ready to start the Simulink® simulation, and begin debugging your design.
When using Visual Studio, you can launch the application, and then select command to attach to the MATLAB process. This command opens an Attach to Process dialog box that lets you select the MATLAB process from the list of running processes, to attach to the Visual Studio debugging session.

Important: When attaching Visual Studio
to the MATLAB process, you must also click
Select to set the Attach to field, and explicitly choose Native Code from the drop down menu. The
Automatic:Native mode option may not work for some versions
of Visual Studio.
