ECLIPSE IDE is a software development environtment, this software package is very popular because you can extend its functionalities installing pluggins. C source code applications can be compiled in ECLIPSE using Autoconf tools or a Makefile. Autoconf tools can be useful if you want to develop a huge application with a lot of software dependencies, but this method can be tedious if you develop a simple application.
At IGEP v3.0 VM, ECLIPSE includes Linux tools and Yocto plugin to develop C applications for IGEP firmware as quickly and easily as possible.
