Cross Compiling and Cross Debugging C++ withEclipse from Debian Squeeze x64 to DebianSqueeze ARM (Raspberry Pi)1. Introduction

I have received yesterday my Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) unit.

Fig 1. Raspberry Pi connected

After complete successfully the basic setup (http://www.raspberrypi.org/quick-start-guide) and after installing the Debian Squeeze distribution provided by the community(http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads) I want to collaborate with this interesting projectby writing a step by step tutorial that will show how to create a program on C++, and howto run it and debug it on our Raspberry.

2. Pre-Requirements

2.1 Eclipse

As usual Eclipse is not completely mandatory (You can directly write C++ files with almostany text editor), but It is a great help.

If you do not have JAVA yet, you have to install it. You can do it from the packagemanager.

Download Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers from the official download page(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)

Unzip it and execute the 'Eclipse' file inside the 'Eclipse' folder

2.2 Arm Toolchain Cross Compilation

In order to generate programs that can run and be debugged on our RaspBerry, we needto install an appropriated compiler and an appropriated debugger.

2.2.1. Add the native compiler, make and ncurses library if they are not already in your

development system.

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make libncurses5-dev

2.2.2. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ squeeze main

2.2.3. Install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev-armel-crosssudo apt-get install libc6-armel-cross sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-armel-cross sudo apt-get install binutils-arm-linux-gnueabisudo apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabisudo apt-get install g++-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage

2.2.4. Install the remote gdb:

sudo apt-get install gdb-arm-linux-gnueabi

warning: At this point you can find conflicts with the already installed gdb(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=603347). If it is the case you will need toupgrade from gdb 7.0.1 (the currently installed) to gdb 7.4.1 (You can find iton http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/). You will need to download it, configure it and install it, butdo not worry too much, there are just 3 steps that can be found on the README file insidethe downloaded file.

3. Our first Raspberry project

3.1 Open Eclipse and click on File --> C++ Project

3.2 Select Cross-Compile Project and give it a name and click on finish.

Fig 2. Our first Raspberry project on C++

3.3 Create a "src" folder inside the just created project and include a source file called"main.cpp" inside it. Fill the main.cpp with the following content:

4. Cross Compiling and executing the 'Hello World' project

4.1 Now that we have our project written, we need to compile it. In order to do that, openthe project properties select settings and on the 'Cross G++ Compiler' change thecommand 'g++' by arm-linux-gnueabi-g++:

4.1 Do the same on the Cross G++ Linker:

4.2 Build the project, (Ctrl+b) you should get a message on the console like the followingone:

Fig 6. Cross project linker

As you can see, the project has been compiled and linked by using arm-linux-gnueabi-g++, that was the whole point. If you try to run the compiled from eclipse you wont seenothing happening. If you try to run it from the command line, it wont be recognize as anexecutable:

Fig 7. Error when executing the result from the host

But if you copy it and execute it from the Raspberry:

Voila!! Our first C++ Cross-project running on Raspberry :D

4. Cross Debugging the 'Hello World' project

Now that we have run successfully our project, let's see how we can debug it.

4.1 Install on your Raspberry gdbserver

sudo apt-get install gdbserver

4.2 Run gdb server against your program, listening on the port 2345:

gdbserver :2345 MyFirstRaspBerryProject

If everything went ok, the system should get stuck waiting for a remote debug:

Fig 9. gdbserver started on the raspberry machine

4.3 From Eclipse click on the arrow besides the symbol of debug and select 'Debug Configurations'.Click twice on the tab 'C/C++ Remote Application' an new remote application will be automaticallycreated:

Fig 10. New debug configuration

Click on the text 'Select other...' besides the button 'Apply'. On the new window, check the box 'Useconfiguration specific settings' and select 'GDB (DSF) Manual Remote Debuggin Launcher':

Clicking on OK it will bring us to the previous screen. Set the main and debugger tabs asfollowing:

Now you can click on the Debug button and:
