Tutorial : How to explore the remote system ?
This tutorial describes how to use Eclipse to explore the remote file system of the target. The Buildroot Eclipse Bundle integrates the Remote System Explorer components (RSE). To find detailed informations on RSE have a look to the project documentation.
It is possible to explore the remote system thanks to the Remote Systems view. Open it by clicking on Window -> Show view -> Other... :
And then select Remote Systems :
The remote systems view contains all the available connections, and you can go through the remote file system by clicking on the different tree items. In our example we can see that our test application was copied to the target into the root folder :
From the target system root /, it is possible to open a terminal :
This terminal is connected to the target and so it is possible to run commands available on the target system :
With uname -a we can see which kernel version and current architecture is running on the target, with ps, we list all the running processes...
The Remote Systems view allows the user to directly copy/paste or remove file from the development system to the target system.
