Overview
Cross-development in general, refers to the overall software development process that eventually produces a single application or a complete system running on an platform that is different from the development platform. This is accomplished using a cross-compiler toolchain and cross-compiled libraries.
Peter Seebach defines cross-compilation as follows: "Cross compilation occurs when a compiler running on one system produces executables for another system -- this is an important concept when the target system doesn't have a native set of compilation tools, or when the host system is faster or has greater resources."
Cross-development usually involves two different platforms, the host platform where actual development work takes place, and the target platform where the final application is tested and run.
IGEP SDK provides all necessary tools like a cross compiler, embedded libraries, etc. to compile program sources for IGEP devices.
IGEP SDK is included in IGEP SDK Virtual Machine but you can install in other Linux operating system.
Install IGEP SDK
Requirements
There are some requisites to follow this guide:
- IGEP SDK VM: follow the IGEP SDK SOFTWARE USER MANUAL (chapter 2.3 "Setting up and running the VM")
- IGEP Firmware: follow the IGEP SDK SOFTWARE USER MANUAL (chapter 6.1 "Create IGEP firmware bootable micro-sd card")
- IGEP COM MODULE and IGEP NEW YORK
- SPI example program
- MicroSD Card (at least 2Gbytes)
