2 years ago Fixed. Added to the "Open Debug" dialog.
And to command line options.

Possible connection mediums are:

Arguments:
executable The executable to debug. Needed
for all run modes.
arguments Arguments for the executable.
Needed for --run and --start.
When starting a program, 'Break in main()' works when the app is a C/C++/etc type program.
It doesn't work if the program is a pure assembly program or, perhaps, other types of embedded programs.
Add these as other choices to the Debug menu:
Will need options on the command line to do the same.
Perhaps a default for 'function' and 'address' can be added to the Seer/Gdb config page.
And, probably need a setting to turn on/off the starting address.
