+ELF format version of it (which includes needed debug symbols).

+Under Linux these files are stored in ``/tmp/arduino_build_*`` and the following command will help locate the right file for your app:
 
 .. code:: cpp
 
     find /tmp -name "*.elf" -print
 
+Under Windows these files are stored in `%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_*`` and the following command will help locate the right file for your app:

+.. code:: cpp

+    dir %userprofile%\appdata\*.elf /s/b

 Note the full path of ELF file that corresponds to your sketch name, it will
 be needed later once GDB is started.
