Integration with Eclipse
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While a part of the embedded Linux developers like classical text
|
|
|
|
editors like Vim or Emacs, and command-line based interfaces, a number
|
|
|
|
of other embedded Linux developers like richer graphical interfaces to
|
|
|
|
do their development work. Eclipse being one of the most popular
|
|
|
|
Integrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse
|
|
|
|
in order to ease the development work of Eclipse users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote
|
|
|
|
execution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are
|
|
|
|
built on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the
|
|
|
|
Buildroot configuration and build processes themselves with
|
|
|
|
Eclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration
|
|
|
|
would be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make
|
|
|
|
xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with
|
|
|
|
Buildroot.
|
|
|
|
* Build your Buildroot system by running +make+.
|
|
|
|
* Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom
|
|
|
|
applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built
|
|
|
|
and installed by Buildroot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is
