Eclipse on Virtual Box debug on embedded [message #1850067]

Hi!

I have built a Virtual Box guest with Ubuntu in order to compile some Linux libraries and create a program which handles audio using Eclipse.

I have managed to create the executable, everything looks fine, but when I try to debug that program into my embedded device, the connection doesn't work properly. I have put my virtual box, my host and the embedded device in the same IP Lan, but that doesn't work neither.

How should I configure my virtual box and my Eclipse in order to be able to debug right away? May it be a firewall problem and how can I check it if you know?

Thanks,
Ander.

If your embedded device runs Linux, it very probably is using shared libraries. If the compilation host uses a different processor and/or release of Linux, you need to have the dynamic libraries on the development to link a correct executable.

Another thing is that you need to have the proper audio hardware drivers on the target device.

Yes, I have made an image which has the libraries of audio I use to compile my program in Eclipse and I have also checked the proper audio hardware driver on my target device. The problem is with the communication between the virtual machine and the embedded system. Does anyone know how do I have to configurate everything (VirtualBox , Eclipse and emebedded) in order to be able to debug my program? I have tried to put all the devices in same IP group, but they can't communicate. Any idea?

Can you access the embedded device from Ubuntu console in VirtualBox?

What do you mean by accesing? I cant ping from one to another eventhough I can configure them in the same IP group.
