Connection to a remote application wont show up [message #703121]

Hello everyone,

I've got a small problem with RSE project in conjunction with the CDT.

At first the setup: I'm working on Ubuntu 10.04 (although i tried windows 7 too). The target system is a FPGA running uClinux.
The "manual" mode works, meaning compiling in Eclipse (Indigo Release) upload the file with ftp, starting the gdbserver and connect/debug with eclipse.

I found this nice project which should do these steps itself. The problem is now, i can't choose the target connection in the Remote Application Settings:
Pic of the dropdownlist:
h**p://i51.tinypic.com/2aifxhu.jpg

Now i can't change the properties of local and i can't see any of the connections created. But i can see all created connections when browsing for the remote absolute file path:
h**p://i53.tinypic.com/34zd65s.jpg

So the connection should be there and should work (at least when browsing for the path the ftp log in the background works) but for some reason i just can't see them when choosing the target.

Anyone any idea why? Have i done anything wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

PS. sorry for the h**p, but the system wont let me use links (until 5 posts) ...

I think the problem is that just uploading your code won't do, because the Launch also needs to start gdbserver on the remote. Therefore the connection needs to support both "file transfer" and "shell" access - your FTP connection only supports "file transfer", therefore it isn't listed.

You'll probably want to create a connection of type "Linux", then choose "FTP" for file transfer and "Telnet" for shell access.

Also note that the "remote launch" is now managed by CDT so if you want to file a bug or enhancement request you should file it against CDT.
