Create a minimal C file (test.c):

int main(void) 
    volatile int i = 0;
    while(1)  i++; 
    return 0;

Compile:

tricore-gcc -mcpu=tc27xx test.c -o test.elf

Connect debugger:

tricore-gdb test.elf
(gdb) target remote localhost:2332   # for J‑Link GDB server
(gdb) load
(gdb) continue

If GDB connects without driver errors, your “GCC Expert 24 driver” setup is complete.
