Eclipse failed to execute MI command -target-select remote

Trying to setup remote gdb debugging in eclipse. When I try to debug I get:

 Error in final launch sequence
 Failed to execute MI command: -target-select remote LOCALHOST:2345
 Error message from debugger back end:
  LOCALHOST:2345: Connection timed out.
  LOCALHOST:2345: Connection timed out.

My gdb debugger is set up correctly

 /carambola/carambola/build_dir/toolchain-mipsel_r2_gcc-4.6-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/gdb-linaro-7.2-2011.03-0/gdb/gdb

(when executing this I can get gdb shell)

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?

Solution

  • This happens if the gdb client ( inside eclipse ) is not compiled for the same architecture as the gdb server. Setting the correct gdb in eclipse debugging solved this issue.
