You should have set up your debugger running listening on the specified port as 
in the screenshot.

You should have a BareMetal Kit Setup and a Compiler and a Debugger and a 
BareMetal-Device.  Then you can just press the Debug button on the left bar.

I have never tried to connect to remote server other than using the debug 
button, so chances are hight that this does not work.

The dialog you are using is unfortunatly not working with embedded devices.

> Please can you explain a bit more?
Please enter a complete kit and use the debug button, that should work.
Keep in mind that you need a debugger with python support.
