1 Create GtkHelloWorld user space project[edit]

In context of Cortex®-A7 sub-project context, named here MP157C-DK2_CA7 here, right-click and select Create a userspace Project...

User space project wizard shortcut

We select here Here, an Executable project type , in C language is selected. Note that our the user space project will use uses by default the SDK version associated to the Cortex®-A7 sub-project.


User space project creation wizard'


2 Update GtkHelloWorld project sources & and properties[edit]

Hereafter we update Below, the main.c source code is updated with gtk_hello_world.c as defined in article Create a simple hello-world application article.


Proposal in order The proposal to reference the Gtk library is to use the pkg-config command to update the compiler & and linker flags, just like it is done in the Makefile of article Create a simple hello-world application. This properties update is done inside menu GtkHelloWorld properties: C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings.

  • main.c update and C flag: `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0`
GtkHelloWorld project source & properties update


  • linker Linker flags update: `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`
GtkHelloWorld project source & properties update


  • Now you can build GtKHelloWorld project, : right-click on it and then Build Project.
GtkHelloWorld project source & properties update

3 Preparing Debug Configuration[edit]

Your target must be Linux® booted and network connected. Please, start Target Status widget on the inthe bottom right corner and check for the green light. Remember that the Linux® console cannot be shared outside STM32CubeIDE: butterfly icon.


Target Status - green


Please also Also check How to set up proxy and P2P Ethernet connection with STM32CubeIDE if you are in that case.

4 Debug Configuration[edit]

Select your project, right-click Debug as... > Debug Configurations, then select STM32 Cortex-A Remote Application'.

Debug configuration shortcut

In the main tabulation Main tab, the default Connection connection proposed is "MPU SSH", corresponding to the target IP address discovered by the Target Status widget. The default destination directory is /home/root.

Debug setup

5 Debug launch[edit]

Click Debug :

  1. GtkHelloWorld is downloaded to the target,
  2. GDBServer is launched on the target,
  3. GDBClient is launched on the workstation and can exchange via the network with GDBServer,.
GtkHelloWorld debug
Info.png in In case of error; please , stop any GDBServer running on the target before launching a new debug session.
