Overview
Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java. It can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Haskell, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Android and Scheme. One of these interesting plugins is the Yocto Eclipse IDE Plug-in.
The Yocto Eclipse IDE Plug-in integrates the functionality of the Yocto Project Application Development Toolkit (ADT) and toolchain into the Eclipse IDE. This allows its users direct access to deploy, build, run and debug your own project. More information about Eclipse software here.
NOTE: If you use IGEP SDK Virtual Machine you don't need to follow this guide, go directly to How to develop with Eclipse IDE under IGEP technology
Requirements
- PC with Linux, for example Linux Mint distribution.
- IGEP YOCTO Toolchain SDK (see Tutorial)
- Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Linux Developers
- Yocto Eclipse IDE Plug-in
|
This guide was tested under Linux Mint Lisa 12, Eclipse 3.7 Indigo and Yocto IDE Plug-in 1.2 |
Install
Install Java Runtime Environment
Eclipse IDE has Java dependencies. Java Runtime Environment should be installed, but if you don't have it type next command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
Install Eclipse IDE
Download Eclipse 3.7 Indigo for C/C++ Linux Developers, choose 32 or 64 bits version depends your machine.
You maybe want to install "build-essential" package to test programs in your Host computer. Install it using the next command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Extract Eclipse binaries, in my case the downloaded file is located at Downloads folder:
jdoe@ubuntu ~/Downloads $ tar xzf eclipse-linuxtools-indigo-incubation-linux-gtk.tar.gz -C ~/
Install Yocto SDK
Configure
Open Eclipse IDE
Eclipse binaries are located inside ~/eclipse folder. Open IDE clicking eclipse executable file, at first program execution you should configure "workspace" directory.
