DS-5 Android - Problem debugging on a device

Note: This was originally posted on 19th April 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

I've finally managed to make the emulator work and now can debug my game on it. Thank you.

As I don't have an actual android device, I've installed an experimental version of ICS on my HP TouchPad. It seams everything works all right. I can use the adb utility provided with the SDK to connect to the device with no problem. But I cannot debug from inside eclipse under windows on the actual device.

I created a second debug configuration for the device and selected my device in the Connection tab at the combo-box, but after a while I receive a message that eclipse cannot connect to the device. This is strange as I have no problem with the connection. Under a dos window using the adb command I can see I can connect, I even can shell into the device.

    Hi Hamlatzis,

    Thanks, your ps output is very useful. It shows us that your application is stopped (T on column 8) but any gdbserver instance is attached to your process, which may imply that gdbserver has attached to your app but somehow afterwards has died.

    DS-5 ships two versions of gdbserver: gdbserver-stat-7.1 a statically linked version of gdbserver and  gdbserver-dyna-7.1 that is built to dynamically link against the libraries on the Android target.   Please, if you have been using static, now use dynamic, or if you have been using dynamic, now try static,... you could also try the gdbserver shipped in NDK. From our experience in production devices, dynamic linked is more likely to work.

    Thanks,

    Albert.
