You can also specify the target file system folder to which files can be transferred if required.

Files

These options enable you to configure the target file system and select files on the host that you want to download to the target or use by the debugger. The Files tab options available for each Debug operation are:

Table 11-2 Files tab options available for each Debug operation

Apply

Save the current configuration. This does not connect to the target.

Revert

Undo any changes and revert to the last saved configuration.

Debug

Connect to the target and close the Debug Configurations dialog box.

Close

Close the Debug Configurations dialog box.

Files options summary

The Files options available depend on the debug operation you selected on the Connection tab. The possible options are:

Application on host to download

Specify the application image file on the host that you want to download to the target:

• Enter the host location and file name in the field provided.

• Click on File System... to locate the file in an external directory from the Eclipse workspace.

• Click on Workspace... to locate the file in a project directory or sub-directory within the Eclipse workspace.

  For example, to download the stripped (no debug) Gnometris application image, select the gnometris/stripped/gnometris file.

Select Load symbols to load the debug symbols from the specified image.

Application on target

Specify the location of the application on the target. gdbserver uses this to launch the application.

For example, to use the stripped (no debug) Gnometris application image when using a model and VFS is configured to mount the host workspace as /writeable on the target, specify the following in the field provided:

/writeable/gnometris/stripped/gnometris.

Target download directory

If the target has a preloaded image, then you might have to specify the location of the corresponding image on your host.

The debugger uses the location of the application image on the target as the default current working directory. To change the default setting for the application that you are debugging, enter the location in the field provided. The current working directory is used whenever the application references a file using a relative path.

Load symbols from file

Specify the application image containing the debug information to load:

• Enter the host location and file name in the field provided.

• Click on File System... to locate the file in an external directory from the workspace.

• Click on Workspace... to locate the file in a project directory or sub-directory within the workspace.

For example, to load the debug version of Gnometris you must select the gnometris application image that is available in the gnometris project root directory.

Although you can specify shared library files here, the usual method is to specify a path to your shared libraries with the Shared library search directory option on the Debugger tab.

Note Load symbols from file is selected by default.

Add peripheral description files from directory

A directory with configuration files defining peripherals that must be added before connecting to the target.

Other file on host to download

Specify other files that you want to download to the target:

• Enter the host location and file name in the field provided.

• Click on File System... to locate the file in an external directory from the workspace.

• Click on Workspace... to locate the file in a project directory or sub-directory within the workspace.

For example, to download the stripped (no debug) Gnometris shared library to the target you can select the gnometris/stripped/libgames-support.so file.

Path to target system root directory

Specifies the system root directory to search for shared library symbols.

The debugger uses this directory to search for a copy of the debug versions of target shared libraries. The system root on the host workstation must contain an exact representation of the libraries on the target root filesystem.

Target working directory

If this field is not specified, the debugger uses the location of the application image on the target as the default current working directory. To change the default setting for the application that you are debugging, enter the location in the field provided. The current working directory is used whenever the application refers to a file using a relative path.
