if you debugging from DigiESP it should start it automatically, otherwise you can start it manually from the console or shell:  
gdbserver :4321 /usr/bin/hello\_wrold

and on your development system did:

gdb  
target remote :4321

symbol-file

AND:

(gdb) b main  
Breakpoint 1 at 0x844c: file hello\_world.c, line 22.  
(gdb) c
