I am having an executable in aparticular folder in Target & i want debug it
from host thro IDE.
I opened the Debug Perspective.& there i need to give the Project &
Application.
But i want to debug the executable which is already in the Target without
creating any Project in IDE(Windows Host).Using only Upload option ( where
in i can use the executable on the target). I can’t get “Apply” & “Debug”
Buttons enabled
Is there a way to do it? If so how can I ?

You ought to have something on your host because there are no way to run gdb
on the host and have executable on the target only. If you want to run gdb
on the target, IDE does not support this mode. In this case you should start
telnet session on your target and run gdb in the command line mode.
