The command (gdb) load ${firmware-elf} is used in the GDB (GNU Debugger) tool to load a specific firmware file.

Here's a breakdown of this command:

• (gdb) is the GDB prompt, indicating that you are interacting with GDB.
• load is a GDB command used to load an executable file into GDB for debugging.
• ${firmware-elf} refers to a variable named firmware-elf. The $ syntax is often used in various command-line environments to represent a variable. In this case, firmware-elf is likely the name of an ELF file (Executable and Linkable Format), which is a common file format for executables, libraries, and object code in many operating systems.
  • Note: ${firmware-elf} is likely just a placeholder meant to be replaced with the actual filename when using this command.

The purpose of this command is to load the specified firmware-elf file into GDB, enabling you to debug and analyze the code within. Once loaded, you can use various debugging features provided by GDB, such as setting breakpoints, examining variables, and stepping through the code, to understand and troubleshoot the firmware.
