This is intended for Linux apps only and cannot be used for the kernel. It's the standard Eclipse method for remote system debugging.

There may be a way to use it for kernel debugging, but it isn't mentioned in any Altera documentation. It might theoretically be possible to debug embedded applications over Ethernet, but this would apply to any version of Eclipse for ARM. Not for the faint of heart, consult an expert, probably cheaper to just buy DS-5 Altera edition.
