QtCreator remote debugging an embedded linux device

[gandiii]

Hi,

I'm still trying to do remote debugging on my raspberry pi, but I have not found
a working solution.

I have:

• virtual Debian
• crosscompiler (generated by crosstool-ng)
• qt version 4.8.4 crosscompiled

I can compile a simple qt console project with a qDebug output for test.
To this point it works, but now I want to remote debug this application.
These are the envirement settings:

how can I set the target executable path??

Which version of QtCreator do you use?
It seams to me that you haven't add the following lines to your project file:
target.path = <remote path>
INSTALLS += target

But this is actually not necessary.
You can go directly to: Debug-> Start Debugging -> Attach to Remote Debug Server.

Do not forget to start the gdbsever on you target.
Cheers

qtcreator 2.7.81
thx for your help, now the path works, but if I want
to debug (starting the gdbserver manual or with qtcreator) i get this
error message:
@Cannot continue debugged process:
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long: 0000000051feffbe000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000050fdffbe00000000@

I know this bug. I had it one or two years ago.
Check google about it.

Be sure that your gdb matches with the gdbserver on the target.
You have to use a special gdb not the one which is installed by default on your host.
