Re: Problem with remote tools connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Hi,

I build the sdk for my platform
I installed it
I create an application with this sdk and I will be able to use the remote tools.

Good.

I work with 2 visual studio ? one for the platform builder and another with the application ?

The connection with the non platform builder application can use the same ethernet connection ? or I need to use 2 ethernet connections ?

It is mostly up to you.

In my experience, running both the debug version of an image (where your Ethernet adapter has turned into VMINI1) and the "Application Remote Tools" based on TCP yields some strange behaviors, mostly unexpected slownesses of the Remote Tools.

If you don't have to debug low-level layers (e.g. drivers), I recommend that you use a Retail version of your image and that you perform pure application debugging with the "Application Remote Tools".
If not, my recommendation is to make all the debugging with the kernel debugger, the trick being to copy your application exe, dll and pdb files to the Release directory.

You can work with 2 (or more) instances of VS 2005, but you can also have a Solution hosting both the application and the OSDesign. This can avoid other problems when it comes to close the Platform Builder instances in the right order.

For the Ethernet controller usage on Debug versions, search VMINI in the help.
