TRK On-device Debugging

The on-device TRK remote agent (Application TRK or System TRK) is a program that enables on-device debugging of phone prototypes, reference boards, and retail phones. An on-device debug agent is a program that is installed on a phone or reference board. It communicates with the debugger using a serial-over-Bluetooth or serial-over-USB connection. Through this serial communication, the on-device debug agent acts as the interface between the Carbide.c++ debugger and the target device. An on-device debug agent provides:

Using the on-device remote agent, one can use the Carbide.c++ IDE to debug programs running on phone hardware, making the debugging process much easier. The on-device debug agent works on all Nokia Qt SDK, Symbian^3, and Symbian TechView devkits.

The Application TRK remote agents are stored online and can be downloaded and installed using the On-Device Connections > New Connection Wizard > Install remote agents pane.

Some of the key benefits to using an on-device debug agent include:

There are two variations of the on-device debug agent, they are:
