ARM DS-5 Remote Linux Debugging - Failed to connect to the device

Hi all,

I am trying to debug a simple hello world user space level application on an ARM board running a custom flavor of Linux. Gdbserver has been installed on the board, and the RSE is able to connect successfully and browse the filesystem.

I have created a new debug configuration ( DS-5 Debugger -> Altera -> Cyclone V SOC (Dual Core) -> Linux Application Debug -> Download and debug application ), pointing to my RSE connection. When I try to start the debug, I get the following message:

Unable to connect to New_configuration

Reason:

Failed to connect to the device

Invalid host.

The hostid of this system does not match the hostid specified in the license file

Feature: altera_ds_debugger_gdbserver

Hostid: [host id]

The host Id printed in the message is the correct host id for my development machine, not the target ARM machine I am trying to debug the code on.

Does anyone see anything immediately wrong with what I am doing?

Thanks,

Nick

    By the way, is this an hello world example from one of the design guide?

    I have a very strong feeling this is some thing to do wit your license, as the fasted test, simply just debug a hello world example.. see if this error still happens,
