Remote debugging

Before this project can be debugged remotely, you need to do some preparations:

Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Pi

Create the path /home/pi/remote-debugging/ on the RapberryPi. mkdir /home/pi/remote-debugging/ && chmod 777 /home/pi/remote-debugging/

Step 2: Create the remote system connection

This only needs to be done if the connection hasn't been created before. Note: the Raspberry Pi must be on the same network (try pinging it using the ping command from a console to verify).

• In the eclipse menu, open Window/Open Perspective/Other....
• select Remote System Explorer (RSE).
• Open the RSE perspective (upper right corner).
• Define a connection to a remote system (first icon in the left panel).
• In the new conncection assistant select SSH Only.
• Press Next and enter the IP-address of you Raspberry Pi in the Host field.
• In the Name field enter e.g. 'RemoteRPI'.
• Switch back to the C/C++ perspective.

Step 3: Configure the run configuration

• In the Eclipse menu, open Run/Debug Configurations....
• Select the HelloCpp Auto Remote Debug configuration.
• On the Main tab, in the Connection: field, choose the just created connection.

Step 4: Start remote debugging

From the bug icon drop-down in the toolbar select HelloCpp Auto Remote Debug.
