I am debugging an application on-device with Carbide-v1.2. The debugger mostly breaks at all the breakpoints I have set, but when I step through, the flow is erratically haphazard. It does not make sense. Also, the variables show garbage values. I am not sure what is wrong. I am debugging over a USB connection.

In addition to that, I cannot seem to locate RDebug::Print messages anywhere. I have searched through all the console windows, any possible files on the local system, everything. There is nothing. I have toggled the settings in the Debugger tab, but no dice.

Has anyone faced any of these problems before? Is there some step that I am missing? Any workarounds? I would really appreciate any help I can get.

Regarding RDebug I also didn't see any in Carbide 1.2 but when I switched to the latest Carbide 1.3 I now see RDebug output
Sorry if this answer is a little bit stupid but this is exactly what happened. Never had time to figure out why it was so.

Thanks, Genesis. I am pretty sure there is something messed up with Carbide-v1.2. I tried opening all possible console windows, but the only messages from the phone I can see are TRK communication messages, which are completely useless.

RDebug isn't working, plus debugging on the device is pathetic. Nearly useless. For now, I have settled to using CConsoleBase for EXE applications. Thankfully, that is the only type of application I am debugging at the moment.

What is it which makes you debug a console application on device? Just interested

The application runs as a background process, and wasn't quite doing what I intended it too. I had to find out what was wrong. Debugging wouldn't work properly, so I had to stick to using CConsoleBase, which worked really well.
