This post is little premature , but ....
After the cross compiler prefix and path are done,
I have an option to continue with "local application" or "remote ".
Please note it is called local and remote , not local and host.

I assume these two can be compiled and verified compiled on "local' ( x86) machine and than on "remote" (ARM host?).

If I select "remote" i get "New Connection" in C/C++ perspective and can follow that path. Been there , done that.

BUT - I have installed TCF - especially for developing software on embedded system - Pi in my case.

So which way to just build and verify the conncetion - using standard "remote" application connection or TCF?

In my view verifying the connection should be done before actually compiling the remote / host software.

BTW TCF now introduces "Target" - AKA host AKA remote.
