Remote debugging using QT Creator

Nikolay Levun

Hello,

PC with the Ubuntu on the Virtual Box is used as a host. Raspberry Pi is used as a target device.

Is it possible remotely debug (using SSH and the possibilities of the QT Creator) a application with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) loaded on the Respberry Pi using the QT Creator?

@SGaist Hello,

Thank you for you reply. I have studied this documentation.

I saw that I can use the X11 forwarding. Can I use the phisical monitor on the Respberry Pi and interact with the GUI using a mouse and keyboard? At the same time, will remote debugging (set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through code) via the gdbserver in QT Creator still be available?

@Nikolay-Levun We don't use Raspberry (Toradex Apalis instead) but doing exactly what you described: local front panel operation, display and remote debugging from Qt Creator.

So that should be working.

Regards
