A beginner question, sorry.
1. I have a C floating point code. I build it and run it in Eclipse CDT using Cygwin GCC toolchain.
2. I would like to compile the same C code, but this time for ARM Cortex A53.
3. I installed GNU MCU Eclipse plug-in and made a new Eclipse project using ARM Cross GCC toolchain.
4. The project builds fine, the output being myproject.elf.
5. I would like to run the myproject.elf locally on Windows (without connecting a target ARM board, which I don't have). When I try to run it, I get error:
Error starting process.Cannot run program "myproject.elf": Launching failed
Error starting process.
Cannot run program "myproject.elf": Launching failed
And when I try to Debug it:
Failed to execute MI command:-exec-runError message from debugger back end:Don't know how to run.
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
Don't know how to run.
Is running ARM code like this at all possible on native platform?
What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
In order to run ARM binaries on an x86 machine, you'll need to run them in an emulator. QEMU is commonly used for this task. You can follow the directions at https://gnu-mcu-eclipse.github.io/debug/qemu/ to get it setup in Eclipse.
