Overview: This webinar shows you how to set up a Linux-based cross-development environment for doing development work on a typical ARM target board. Live demonstrations com-plement the lecture material to show you exactly how the process works. While the examples presented utilize an ARM processor, the basic concepts are applicable to any architecture.
We'll begin by reviewing the basic cross-development paradigm and describing a typical toolchain. We'll configure the workstation's network interface to support the Network File System (NFS). We'll also need a simple serial terminal emulator for talking to the target board's boot loader. A typical ARM-based target single board computer (SBC), the Mini2440, will be intro-duced. We'll configure the board's network interface to connect with the workstation when it boots up.
Then, after reviewing the Linux notion of "mounting" file systems, we'll use NFS to mount the target board's root file system. Eclipse will be introduced to illustrate the value of an Integrated Development Envi-ronment (IDE). Eclipse is a popular Open Source project that has been adapted by several commercial tool vendors as the basis for their own IDEs. We'll demonstrate how a network-based target file system, together with Eclipse, speeds up the ed-it/compile/debug cycle.
Having built and tested a simple application program, we'll move on to review several Open Source build systems that aim to simplify the process of setting up a development environment. These packages encompass all of the elements of the environment in-cluding: tool chain, libraries, utilities in the form of BusyBox, Linux kernel, and boot loader.
