Hi ,
I managed to get the Eclipse running on a standalone HelloWorld
application on my PC.
But my task doesn't end here. I have to try to make use of Eclipse for
Remote debugging a MIPS application that is running on a target, connected
through a probe.
But I was going through the messages but somehow don't see anyone using
Eclipse for remote debugging ? Am I correct ? Is Eclipse more of a PC
based debugger and may not be the right one to use for remote embedded
type debugging ?
Can anyone please comment ?
Thanks ,
Vivek

Eclipse is widely used for debugging embedded systems. However, you need some
way to connect gdb to a target. This is normally done with a jtag probe. You
would also need the CDT "GDB Jtag Debugging" plugin (which is available from the
CDT update site).
There is a fairly comprehensive tutorial on how to setup a system for ARM here:
http://gnuarm.alexthegeek.com/ARM_Cross_Development_With_Ecl ipse_Components_Revision3_March_17_2006.pdf
Obviously, this is specific to ARM, but many of the principle apply to MIPS and
other embedded processors (even if the specifics are not relevent).
