Wiki TCF verion 1.7 update ? [message #1844398]

I am struggling with implementation of TCF Agent , my "remote " is Raspberry Pi.
I have managed to "git" the latest TCF , however it is missing few things - agent , machine....
I have followed the original https://wiki.eclipse.org/TCF/Raspberry_Pi and it is VERY old and outdated.

In past this Eclipse forum has not been helpful - mostly referring to "3rd party" not maintained by Eclipse foundation....
Also direct access to TCF was never been usefull - "developers" do not want to correspond with users...

So this post is about
1. where do I find why new "git" is missing agent and machine?

2. Is there a updated "how to" wiki about implementing TCF on remote system, such as Raspberry Pi?

PLEASE no "this is 3rd party " - it has "TCF Eclipse foundation" written in many places.
I need real help with implementing TCF on RPi , not superficial references to "3rd party ...."
Do not waste your time.

Cheers

EDIT
This is the old and no longer there....

qy@qy-desktop:~$ git clone http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/tcf/org.eclipse.tcf.agent.git
Cloning into 'org.eclipse.tcf.agent'...
fatal: repository 'http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/tcf/org.eclipse.tcf.agent.git/' not found
qy@qy-desktop:~$

Any suggestion how to find the new "agent" ?

Sorry, I did find the "new" git "agent" but forgot to add it here.

Eugene - can I ask for another favors ?

I have been using the old TCF about two years ago and forgot how to actually configure Eclipse.
I know I can use "default file" , but forgot what goes to "application"....

I can finally cross-compile but do not have copy of the executable on my RPi, maybe because of the above is missing.

Basically - how do I check if the agent is actually running on the RPi?

I would eventually like to use another IDE with TCF, but I need to get it going with Eclipse first.

Thanks for your help, appreciate that very much.

PS Are you Russian?

I did check the "tcf-dev project" but found no easy way to "sign-up" to help with some stuff - I am primarily interested in adding real help with setting up the real connection to RPi.

But I noticed there is specific option for "arm" (in 2021-09) as crosscompile, maybe there is also real help to set all the options....I'll will check that...

Let me add this - when I switched from "toy educational computer" everybody raves about when they manage to "blink LED" to RPi I was told in many ways that "it is too small to do code development ..." then I discovered TCF ....
To make long story even more boring - why does not TCF advertise and SUPPORT with real tutorial how WONDERFUL cross-compiling works with "small RAM of RPi " - but it must work and not to be "try this and watch for smoke..." approach taken so far by "foundation".
Cheers
