ARM DS-5 error when connecting to target

Brian Watson

ARM DS-5 reporting launch configuration error:

"Target download directory requires an absolute path" but no indication of what is wrong.

Can someone please advise as to what is not set correctly?

Brian.

    I'll try it again, but it seemed when I added the ssh client, it still tried to use sftp.

    When you create the remote system configuration, click next, then select ssh.files in the upper left (ftp.files is the default)

    Hi Ronan,

    I tried this again, this morning but still received an error on application launch.

    Configuring as follows:

    Under "Remote Systems", add a new target
    Select "SSH only"
    <next>
    Hostname: 192.168.1.148
    Connection name: PU

    <next>
    Under configuration: the only option is ssh.files; available services shows ssh/sftp file service, ssh connector service; ssh settings

    <next>

    Configuration: shows ssh.shells; under available services Generic shell service, ssh connector service/ssh settings
    <next>

    Configuration: shows ssh.terminals; under available services SSH Terminal Service, ssh connector service/ssh settings

    <finish>

    Then, create

    a debug configuration:ication Debug/Connections via gdbserver/Download and debug application

    Select RSE connection created above

    Set up executables, and directories.

    Then "Debug" (asks for user id and password)

    Then after a pause "Unable to connect to RSE host"
    Failed to open connection to UNIT: Error Creating Terminal

    I then tried Remote Systems/Ssh Shells/Connect; got the response "Failed to connect SFTP subsystem: Remote host may not have sftp-server installed : java.io.IOException: Pipe closed"

    Tried command line ssh root@192.168.1.148, this succeeds.

    I tried under SSH shells, selected "launch termina" and this works.

    I tried under SSH Terminals, selected "Launch Terminal" and this works.

    When I the "sftp files", it failed saying no sftp-server installed. I can use scp quite easily from command line.

    Also,

    Is there any way to make gdbserver actually FAST?

    Brian.
