Ant selectapplication

where xxxx is the id of the SPOT running the application being debugged and yyyy is the id of your base station. Note that xxxx can be a short name, as described in the Remote section, but yyyy cannot. If you regularly use the same basestation you can define the basestation.addr property in the .sunspot.properties file in your user root folder and then omit it from the command line.

The SPOT will be restarted with the SDA running; your application will not start. Then the SDP will be started and will communicate with the SPOT. This takes a few seconds. The output should look something like this:

C:\arm9\AirText>ant debug -DremoteId=spot1

5.Start a remote debug session using your preferred debug client. The process for doing this varies from client to client, but you need to use a socket connection on port 2900. When the connection from the debug client to the SDP is closed at the end of the debug session the SDP will exit and return to the command prompt. Output generated by the application using System.out or System.err will be displayed in the proxy window.

6.To take the remote SPOT out of debug mode so that it just runs your application do:

Limitations

The current version of the debugger has some limitations that stem from the fact that when using the debugger, the application runs in a child isolate.
