Unable to remote debug on i.MX6

Dave Colter

I am attempting to remotely debug on an i.MX6 device from a Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS desktop.

Using :Qt Creator 6.0.2; Based on Qt 5.15.3 (GCC 11.2.0, 64 bit); GDB

Immediately after starting to debug, I get this warning:
Warning: Identity file not accessible: No such file or directory.

There are two spaces after the word "file", suggesting to me that the identity filename is unknown.

The debugger will proceed and stop at a breakpoint on the first line of my main function:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyClass myApp;
    myApp.doStuff();

    return app.exec();
}

When I press F10 to step over, after a wait, I get a message box saying:

The inferior stopped because it received a signal from the operating system.
Signal name : SIGABRT
Signal meaning : Aborted

I will post more information if requested.

Thanks in advance.

The missing identity file warning says that the local ssh client can't find credentials to log into the i.MX6.
The connection to the debugee isn't established, so the debugging process aborts.
The ssh connection to the remote system needs to be fixed.
