Getting Mali Graphics Debugger to run with Samsung S2

Hi,

we like to use the Mali Graphics Debugger with a Samsung S2.

There is a problem:

According to the readme we have to copy 2 files to the device.

* Pushing them to /sdcard/ works fine

but
* cp mgddaemon /system/bin/mgddaemon fails

Message: "cp: can't create '/system/bin/mgddaemon': Read-only file system

FYI: I am super user. Tried to chmod the directory but this gives me the same message.

Can anyone help me here?


Thanks in advance,
Bodo

    Hi Pete,

    thanks for this tip. It worked! Got those files copied and could continue with the readme.

    Now I get a connection.

    The Log of the Debugger says "[INFO]: PROCESS_STARTED" when I start the game.

    The main window keeps showing "No trace data to display". Not sure if this is normal.

    If I push the button to capture a frame, the log states: "[INFO]: FRAME_CAPTURE_WAITING".

    And instantly a dialogue pops up, telling me that "An internal error occured during: "Capturing frame"."
    The more-details button then shows an java.lang.NullPointerException.

    I  have no idea what might be wrong here. The app is a release build,  might this be a problem? Does the app need to be debuggable?
    Or is this truly an internal error from the Debugger?

    Can you / anyone help me here?


    Thanks in advance,
    Bodo
