configuring deployment step in Creator

mzimmers

Hi all -

I'm trying to configure Creator so I can perform cross-development from my Ubuntu desktop to a Yocto target. I notice that the deployment step defaults to rsync, which I've never used before.

When I press the run button, I get this error:

16:09:41: Starting /usr/local/bin/appNgaIcdFw on Sparky...
16:09:41: The process failed to start. Either the invoked program "ssh://root@192.168.1.135/usr/local/bin/appNgaIcdFw" is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program.

This suggests to me that I haven't properly set up the deploy step (though it's odd I'm not getting any error messages). Can someone give me an idea of what I need to do here?

Thanks...

There are slightly different filenames in the deployment step (appNgalcdFw) and in the start command (appNgaIcdFw).
When I type it without code markers, the l and the I look almost identical, so maybe it's just a minor typo.
If it's not a typo, two more potential issues come to mind:

missing write access for the credentials used for rsync to the deployment path /usr/local/bin
deploying from a temporary directory that gets deleted before deployment

Have you checked, if the deployed file exists on the Yocto target? If so, can it be executed manually?

hi @Axel-Spoerl - sorry it took me so long to respond. I don't see any typos in my code. It turns out that the deployment didn't work because the target directory didn't exist. I created it manually, and got this to work.

Thanks...
