No program to debug. GDBserver exiting.

[dmitryponv]

Hello, this is a basic question.

I have a program that builds with a cross-compiler and copies to the target and executes.

Before this was working fine and without issues,
Recently, during the execution stage, VisualGDB started giving me errors:

Process /home/root/Demo created; pid = 965
Cannot exec /home/root/Demo: Permission denied.

Child exited with status 127
No program to debug.  GDBserver exiting.

I found that I can resolve the program by typing chmod +x /home/root/Demo

I believe VisualGDB was doing this initially for me, but for some reason it had stopped.

Is there an option to re-enable this setting? I haven’t changed any settings myself since the program stopped executing

I know there are VisualGDB startup commands, and I tied putting chmod +x /home/root/Demo into both the BEFORE and AFTER additional commands, but this did not work and I was getting the same error. I never had to do this before either.

Hi,

VisualGDB always runs chmod +x on the deployed files. Perhaps some permissions problem is preventing it from working properly? Are you connecting to your device as root?
