I am trying to use DS-5 debugger to debug remotely an OpenCV code, that simply reads and displays an image. The target platform is Hardkernel ODROID-XU4 SBC running on Ubuntu 18.04, and the host is a Windows 7 host PC. Everything works just fine and I can debug and step into different regions in my program, however, when I try to display the image in my PC, I get the error depicted in the following debug log
Preparing the debug session # cd "/home/bin" # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" # gdbserver :5000 "./opencv_cross_tutorial" Process ./opencv_cross_tutorial created; pid = 2362 Listening on port 5000 Debug session has been started, connecting to gdbserver Remote debugging from host 192.168.1.36 Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (Display window:2362): Gtk-[1;33mWARNING[0m **: [34m16:50:47.229[0m: cannot open display: Child exited with status 1
I would like to know, how can I resolve this display error and display the image on my host PC, and how can I export the display to the ODROID since it is connected to an LCD screen ?
Hi TakiEddineHave you tried setting the DISPLAY env var first, e.g.:export DISPLAY=:0.0 for a local display, or, for example, export DISPLAY=10.11.12.13:0.0 to open its window on the host's X server, where 10.11.12.13 is the host's IP address
For examples of this usage, see the Gnometris and Xaos examples in the Arm DS examples.

Hi Stephan,
I tried the Xaos example, and it yields exactly the same error, here is the debug log
Preparing the debug session # cd "/writeable" # export DISPLAY=":0.0" # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" # gdbserver :5000 "./xaos" -threads 5 -autopilot -streamlinevisualannotation Process ./xaos created; pid = 5017 Listening on port 5000 Debug session has been started, connecting to gdbserver Remote debugging from host 192.168.43.27 Warning gator_func(streamline_annotate.c:496): Not connected to gatord, the application will run normally but Streamline will not collect annotations.

No protocol specified (xaos:5017): Gtk-[1;33mWARNING[0m **: [34m12:37:43.483[0m: cannot open display: :0.0 Child exited with status 1
What is the possible issue here ?
I have found the solution in the web, logging in my odroid as "root" and executing the following command solved the problem
xhost +SI:localuser:root
I can now view the graphical output of my applications either locally or remotely.
