Installing XDS client tools

xds-agent is a client tool that must run on your machine (user / developer host) to be able to use XDS.

Installation of other XDS client tools, such as xds-exec or xds-gdb is optional and depends of what you want to do :

  • xds-exec : command line tool to interact with XDS (also used by IDE integration).
  • xds-gdb : requested for debugging application.

seb@laptop ~$  export DISTRO="xUbuntu_16.04"

seb@laptop ~$  wget -O - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/LinuxAutomotive:/app-Development/${DISTRO}/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
seb@laptop ~$  sudo bash -c "cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/AGL.list <<EOF
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/LinuxAutomotive:/app-Development/${DISTRO}/ ./
EOF"

seb@laptop ~$  sudo apt-get update
seb@laptop ~$  sudo apt-get install agl-xds-agent
seb@laptop ~$  sudo apt-get install agl-xds-exec
seb@laptop ~$  sudo apt-get install agl-xds-gdb

  • Install xds-agent:

    1. Download the latest released tarball from github releases page.

    2. Then unzip the tarball any where into your local disk (for example: /opt/AGL/xds or C:\AGL\xds).

    3. Add binary to PATH:

      • MacOs: create the .bash_profile nano .bash_profile and add export PATH="/opt/AGL/xds/xds-agent:$PATH
      • Windows: change the system path via control panel or system settings or setx path "C:\AGK\xds\xds-agent;%path%"

  • repeat the previous steps to install other tools depending of your needs:

Start xds-agent

XDS-agent is a client tool that must run on your local / user development machine when you use XDS.

For Linux distro, a user systemd service is provided, so you just need to enable if you want to start it automatically at boot and you can also start it immediately using following commands:

# Enable xds-agent service at boot
seb@laptop ~$  systemctl --user enable xds-agent.service

# Manually start xds-agent service
seb@laptop ~$  systemctl --user start xds-agent.service

# Get status and log of xds-agent service
seb@laptop ~$  systemctl --user status xds-agent.service
