[poky] Eclipse plugin question

[Lu, Lianhao]

Hi Gary,

Maybe you need to adjust some TCF connection configuration. Here is a simple way to check whether the default TCF connection configuration works for your target:

1. change to Remote System Explorer perspective
2. right click the TCF connection to your target machine, and choose "Properties"->"Connector Services"->"TCF Connection Settings", you might see the following properties, please make sure having them set correctly according to your target machine
- Login.Requied: whether the TCF terminal service requires login? should be "true" for our 0.9 release
- Pwd.Required: whether the login requires password? Adjust to the target system configuration
- Login.Prompt: prompt string for input login name, usually leave as the default
- Password.Prompt: prompt string for input password, usually leave as the dault
- Command.Prompt: the last characters of the terminal shell prompt(i.e. PS1)
3. After setting the above properties, you may try testing the configuration by expanding the TCF connection to your target machine and launching the terminal to your target machine. If everything works fine, a terminal view should be opened and a command prompt would be displayed in that view.

Hope this may help you.
