Write your First C Program using ECLIPSE IDE

Overview

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.

Pre-requisites

To follow this How-to you need:

  • VMware or VirtualBox virtualization software
  • IGEP SDK v3.0 Virtual Machine RC2 with ECLIPSE IDE
  • IGEP BOARD with Ethernet communication (for example IGEPv2)
  • MANUAL IGEP SDK v3.0 VM
  • Hello world example for ECLIPSE

Getting started

First at all, you should read MANUAL IGEP SDK v3.0 VM and follow the next instructions:

  • Install your Virtual Machine
  • Install your Virtual Machine Guest additions
  • Prepare your Rootfs in your Micro SD Card
  • Connect to your IGEP Board using Ethernet Commnication
  • Build programs using ECLIPSE IDE

Write your First Program using ECLIPSE

ECLIPSE IDE


At "Getting started chapter" you compiled some source example programs for ECLIPSE that use Autoconf
