Hi Markus,

Don’t know about others, my company is not willing to put ARM debugging code to open source at this time, because it is considered to be a competitive advantage.
At same time, contributions from the community are welcome

To support ARM debugging, one needs to implement 3 main components: ARM register descriptors, stack tracing (no symbol info case), and disassembler.

Hello Eugene,
we are using the agent from
http://git.eclipse.org/c/tcf/org.eclipse.tcf.agent.git/
What exactly is the reason that ARM debugging is missing in that agent and how much effort would it be to implement that?
Best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
What agent are you using?
ARM debugging support is not available in the open source TCF agent.

Subject: [tcf-dev] Using TCF With Eclipse Debugger
Hello,
I have a question regarding TCF and the integrated CDT Debugger.
My Eclipse is running on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine and I have a tcf-agent running on an ARM with Linux.
I'm trying to debug a remote application on the ARM.
In Eclipse under "Debug Configuration" I added a configuration for "Target Communication Framework". I filled out the project name, local file path and remote file path. On the target page I set up the target manually. When I hit the button "Run Tests" I get
Connection Diagnostics Errors:

I ignored the errors and hit the Debug button anyway. In the Debug view, I see a new "Debug process" showing up, but nothing else happens. THe name of the Debug process is
remote_debug (imx6: Connecting)
Note: I also used TCF with Remote System Explorer for the same target and I was able to browse the file system and processes.
Best regards,
Markus
