Hi YogeshThite,


I obtained further information from the team regarding your previous questions as below:


You can use Arm DS to perform debugging for your Linux application.


Here are the instructions for Arm DS-5 (the older tool which was replaced with Arm DS):

https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/LinuxApplicationDebuggingWithDS5

It works pretty much the same with Arm DS.


Please note that:

• For older Arm DS-5 you could do Linux application debugging with a free license

• For Arm DS you need an Intel FPGA Edition license, or a generic Gold license from Arm

• Very old Arm DS (older than v2020.1) had a bug that the Intel FPGA edition license did not support Linux

application debugging, but this was fixed in newer versions


It should also be possible to set up a generic Eclipse CDT debugger to debug Linux applications over GDB, but we do not provide support for that, customer will require to research further on that.


As for building, customer should do it with Makefiles, and import the Makefile in Eclipse, then be able to build it from Eclipse.



Thanks.

Regards,

Aik Eu
