'Setup debugging with Qt Creator bare metal project

I'm completely new to embedded development and I've wanted to setup debugging from within Qt Creator. The project is a bare metal application and the project is a compile data base project. I have a J-Link debugger and device is a STM32L083VZ.

I've never tried debugging using "QT" but I think it is quite the same configuration steps I used in VS code.

You need to specify a GDB server: a software that communicates with the uC and provides the command interface to debug on QT IDE.

I've been using OpenOCD as GDB server in my applications and it works fine.

Here is a link to QT documentation explaining how to setup OpenOCD as GDB server:

And here is the OpenOCD project website: https://openocd.org/
