QtCreator toolchain setting & debug problem.

[dongdong]

Hi,

I use mips-linux-gnu-g++ (Sourcery G++ Lite 4.3-154) 4.3.3 to cross compile my application.
QtCreator is 2.5.2

1.What ABI in Tool chains setting should I use?
I set the ABI to mips-linux-generic-elf-32bit, is that correct?

2.Can't debug with mips-linux-gnu-gdb.
when DEBUG->start debuging->start & debug remote applications....

I got following 2 lines in application output window:
Debugging starts
Debugging has finished

following outputs in Debuger log:

The ABI is only used to match up toolchains and Qt versions, so use whatever the Qt version is detected as (provided you are sure that the tool chain actually will work with the Qt library).

Looks a bit like your application finished properly.

[dongdong]

The debug does not connect to the target and the application does not run.

In the log:
<55-exec-run

55^error,msg=“Don’t know how to run. Try \“help target\”.”
dDon’t know how to run. Try “help target”.
dNOTE: ENGINE RUN FAILED

Hmmm... Did you set up a remote linux device for your machine and is that used in the kit you build your project for?

[dongdong]

Every thing is correct if I use gdb to debug in command line.

[dongdong]

I find using Debug->Start Debug->Attach to Remote Debug Server... my application on the target board start to run.

I guess "DEBUG->start debuging->start and debug remote applications…." not call "target remote xxxxxx" or it not think it's a remote debug.

?
