The produced configuration may not work for trace, or at all - would you like to create a debug-only configuration? y/n [n]

Building configuration XML...
Platform configuration successfully created.
The new platform will not be visible in the DS-5 Debugger until the destination database
has been added to the "User Configuration Databases" list and the database has been rebuilt.
A rebuild is done either when DS-5 is (re)started, a user configuration database is added or
by forcing a database rebuild.
To force a rebuild or add a database, select the "Window -> Preferences" menu item,
then expand the DS-5 group. To rebuild, select "Configuration Database", then press
the "Rebuild database" button.
To add a database to the "User Configuration Databases" list, click the "Add" button
and supply a suitable "Name" (E.g. Imported) and "Location" for the database.
Hi philipcpp,
I believe that not all the CoreSight trace infrastructure is easily accessible on this target unless the Linux kernel has been patched to enable it.
This linux patch would have to applied by the end user.
You are also using cdbimporter, which only produces debug-only configurations.
You should stop using cdbimporter and instead use the Eclipse-integrated 'Platform Configuration Editor' (PCE) which is a much-more fully featured tool for configuring connections to a target such as the HiKey board.
You can find a guide to using PCE here :
Developer Resources / Tutorials / SoC Bring-Up Using the Platform Configuration Editor (PCE) | ARM DS-5 Development Stu…
But please also remember that without the Linux kernel patch applied to enable CoreSight trace on this board, no trace will be possible.
However, There should be full debug and trace support for the 96 boards 'Hikey' board available in DS-5 v5.23, which is scheduled for release later this month (November '15).
Regards,
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Thanks very much for your help, and I will try it again using Eclipse-integrated 'Platform Configuration Editor' (PCE).

Thanks Stuart so much, I have connect my linaro_hikey board target correctly.
Thank again for your help!!!!
Excellent, glad to hear that you can connect happily!
