+##Debugging Tools
+
+These tools are for debugging your firmware, etc. before flashing. Theoretically, it can save your flash memory from wearing out. However, these tool do not work 100% for the Planck firmware.
+
+### `gdb` for AVR
+`gdb` has a simulator for AVR but it does not support all instructions (like WDT), so it immediately crashes when running the Planck firmware (because `lufa.c` disables the WDT in the first few lines of execution). But it can still be useful in debugging example code and test cases, if you know how to use it.
+
+```
+$ cd ~/src
+$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
+$ cd binutils-gdb
+$ ./bootstrap
+$ mkdir obj-avr
+$ cd obj-avr
+$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-static
+$ make
+$ make install
+```
+
+
+### `simulavr`
+`simulavr` is an AVR simulator. It runs the complied AVR elf's. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects.
+
+This one is a major pain in the butt because it has a lot of dependencies and it is almost always buggy. I will do my best to explain it but... it was hard to figure out. A few things need to be changed in the 'Makefile' to make it work in `cygwin`.
+
+
+```
+$ cd ~/src
+$ git clone https://github.com/Traumflug/simulavr.git
+$ cd simulavr
+$ ./bootstrap
+$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static --disable-tcl --disable-doxygen-doc
+```
+ Edit `src/Makefile.am` now so that `-no-undefined` is included (I did this by removing the SYS_MINGW conditional surrounding `libsim_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined` and `libsimulavr_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined \ libsimulavr_la_LIBADD += $(TCL_LIB)`. Also, `$(EXEEXT)` is added after `kbdgentables` in two places.
