Hello,

I am new to LUA and I want to debug a LUA application running in an embedded system through my linux PC.

I have installed Eclipse Lua Development Environment (is it a good tool for this purpose?) and I am following https://wiki.eclipse.org/LDT/User_Area/User_Guides/User_Guide_1.4#Attach_session to setup debugger. The page says "The DBGp Lua client is a Lua file which can be downloaded through the Lua Attach to Application launch configuration UI.", but somehow, I can not find where the "DBGp Client" file is and the UI does not give me a link to download.

Can someone help me?

Tom

Zerobrane IDE may be what you want. It brings a Lua module that, when require()d be the application connects to the IDE via TCP and enables the application to be debugged remotely.
