5. Create a new C autotools project, then run the qemu from eclipse
6. Launch powertop from yocto project tools
7. Configure a new TCF connection with the qemu ip (e.g. 192.168.7.2) and press ok

Comment 1 Ioana Grigoropol 2013-07-10 11:27:43 UTC 
Seems like powertop was modified in Apr 11st, and updated from 1.13 to 2.3 (see commit 7195096f5754245f2b495a1629c6eb5ae6427afe).
In this new version, some of the old options are no longer available.
In Eclipse plugin, we use these options for powertop:
   - '-d' 
      - no longer supported or documented
      - stands for dump
      - new option '--debug' seems to perform the same task 
   - '-t'
      - no longer documented, but still supported
      - stands for time
      - new option '--time' does the same task

Patch is sent on the mailing list for review.
