9 This release of the Yocto Project supports both the Neon and Mars
10 versions of the Eclipse IDE.
11 This appendix presents information that describes how to obtain and
12 configure the Mars version of Eclipse.
13 It also provides a basic project example that you can work through
14 from start to finish.
15 For general information on using the Eclipse IDE and the Yocto
16 Project Eclipse Plug-In, see the

369 To configure these options, you must select

714 The host on which you are running QEMU must have

716 able to make RPC calls on a server on that machine.
717 If QEMU does not invoke and you receive error messages
718 involving <filename>rpcbind</filename>, follow the
719 suggestions to get the service running.
720 As an example, on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation,
721 you must do the following in order to get QEMU to
722 launch:
723 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
724 $ sudo apt-get install rpcbind

726 After installing <filename>rpcbind</filename>, you

730 <literallayout class='monospaced'>

733 After modifying the file, you need to start the

765 Once the QEMU emulator is running the image, you can deploy
766 your application using the Eclipse IDE and then use
767 the emulator to perform debugging.
768 Follow these steps to deploy the application.
769 <note>
770 Currently, Eclipse does not support SSH port forwarding.
771 Consequently, if you need to run or debug a remote
772 application using the host display, you must create a
773 tunneling connection from outside Eclipse and keep
774 that connection alive during your work.
775 For example, in a new terminal, run the following:
776 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
777 $ ssh -XY <replaceable>user_name</replaceable>@<replaceable>remote_host_ip</replaceable>
778 </literallayout>
779 Using the above form, here is an example:
780 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
781 $ ssh -XY root@192.168.7.2
782 </literallayout>
783 After running the command, add the command to be executed
784 in Eclipse's run configuration before the application
785 as follows:
786 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
787 export DISPLAY=:10.0
788 </literallayout>
789 Be sure to not destroy the connection during your QEMU

1338 If one does not exist, click "New" to create one.

1342 Here are some specifics about the remote tools:
1343 <itemizedlist>
1344 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>Lttng2.0 trace import</filename>:</emphasis>
1345 Selecting this tool transfers the remote target's
1346 <filename>Lttng</filename> tracing data back to the
1347 local host machine and uses the Lttng Eclipse plug-in
1348 to graphically display the output.
1349 For information on how to use Lttng to trace an
1350 application,
1351 see <ulink url='http://lttng.org/documentation'></ulink>
1352 and the
1353 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_PROF_URL;#lttng-linux-trace-toolkit-next-generation'>LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit, next generation)</ulink>"
1354 section, which is in the Yocto Project Profiling and
1355 Tracing Manual.
1356 <note>Do not use
1357 <filename>Lttng-user space (legacy)</filename> tool.
1358 This tool no longer has any upstream support.</note>
1359 </para>
1360 <para>Before you use the
1361 <filename>Lttng2.0 trace import</filename> tool,
1362 you need to setup the Lttng Eclipse plug-in and create a
1363 Tracing project.
1364 Do the following:
1365 <orderedlist>
1366 <listitem><para>Select "Open Perspective" from the
1367 "Window" menu and then select "Other..." to
1368 bring up a menu of other perspectives.
1369 Choose "Tracing".

1371 <listitem><para>Click "OK" to change the Eclipse
1372 perspective into the Tracing perspective.

1395 </para></listitem>
1396 <listitem><para>Click "OK" to complete the import

1400 <listitem><para>Right click on the data and then use

1409 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>PowerTOP</filename>:</emphasis>
1410 Selecting this tool runs PowerTOP on the remote target
1411 machine and displays the results in a new view called
1412 PowerTOP.</para>
1413 <para>The "Time to gather data(sec):" field is the time
1414 passed in seconds before data is gathered from the
1415 remote target for analysis.</para>
1416 <para>The "show pids in wakeups list:" field corresponds

1419 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>LatencyTOP and Perf</filename>:</emphasis>
1420 LatencyTOP identifies system latency, while
1421 Perf monitors the system's performance counter
1422 registers.
1423 Selecting either of these tools causes an RSE terminal
1424 view to appear from which you can run the tools.
1425 Both tools refresh the entire screen to display results
1426 while they run.
1427 For more information on setting up and using
1428 <filename>perf</filename>, see the

1433 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>SystemTap</filename>:</emphasis>
1434 Systemtap is a tool that lets you create and reuse
1435 scripts to examine the activities of a live Linux
1436 system.
1437 You can easily extract, filter, and summarize data
1438 that helps you diagnose complex performance or
1439 functional problems.

1444 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>yocto-bsp</filename>:</emphasis>
1445 The <filename>yocto-bsp</filename> tool lets you
1446 quickly set up a Board Support Package (BSP) layer.
1447 The tool requires a Metadata location, build location,
1448 BSP name, BSP output location, and a kernel
1449 architecture.
1450 For more information on the
1451 <filename>yocto-bsp</filename> tool outside of Eclipse,
