[FIXED] How to remotely run a program on the Jetson TK1 using Nsight Eclipse

Issue

I've finished the setup of my jetson tk1 eval board and I've started to setup my Nsight Eclipse to remotely run my programs on the Jetson board.

I've created a CUDA C project in Eclipse and completed the setup and connected my board to my eclipse.

When I build the sample CUDA file locally on eclipse it's working fine but when I try to run on the remote board, I get this output :

echo $PWD'>'
/bin/sh -c "cd \"/home/ubuntu\";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"/usr/local/cuda-     
6.0/lib\":\${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};\"/home/ubuntu/test\"";exit
ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ echo $PWD'>'
/home/ubuntu>
ubuntu@tegra-ubuntu:~$ /bin/sh -c "cd \"/home/ubuntu\";export   
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\" /usr/local/cuda- 
6.0/lib\":\${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};\"/home/ubuntu/test\"";exit
/home/ubuntu/test: 1: /home/ubuntu/test: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
logout

From the last line of output, it seems like it's an executable format error. Does anyone ever encountered something similar? I'm running out of ideas.

Solution

I managed to find the answer. The version of Eclipse I had wasn't able to correctly compile my cuda file into the ARMv7 format. So I was always uploading an x64_86 format executable file.

My solution was to create a bash script that transfers the cuda file and compile it directly on the board when I launch the run sequence from eclipse.

In the end it took a bit of programming to make things work but it's now compiling and executing correctly on the remote board.
