Eclipse Remote System Explorer
EMAC provides support for remote development of its products through the use of the Eclipse Remote System Explorer plugin. RSE enables the developer to browse remote file systems and alter their contents similar to the way the Project Explorer allows for the browsing and alteration of local files.
The Eclipse RSE provides the following services to application developers:
- SFTP drag-and-drop file transfer and remote file editing
- Remote Shell/Terminal Connections
- Remote Application Execution
- Remote Application Debugging (provided via GDB and
gdbserver
)
Before moving on to learn how to set up Eclipse for remote development, EMAC recommends reviewing the Initial Connections section of the EMAC OE Getting Started Guide.
