Is there any MI command for connecting remote target ?

Using platform and target command with lldb, It works fine as follows:

-----host log----------
twoflower@js1-desktop ~/local-hello> ls
a.out* hello.cpp
twoflower@js1-desktop ~/local-hello> lldb-3.8.1
(lldb) platform select remote-linux

You need to specify the executable to debug before attempting to connect to the remote machine:

lldb-mi --interpreter

-file-exec-and-symbols local/path/to/executable
-target-select remote host:port

Note that the file-exec-and-symbols command has some non-standard extensions in LLDB-MI that are documented in <https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/blob/release_38/tools/lldb-mi/MIExtensions.txt&gt;
