Eclipse has emerged as the de-facto Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for embedded development having been adopted as the basis for proprietary tool chains by virtually all of the major embedded Linux vendors including Monta Vista, LynuxWorks, TimeSys, and Wind River, among others.

This 1-day, fast-paced, hands-on class shows you how to use the Open Source version of Eclipse to greatly improve productivity for your embedded software development.  You’ll learn how to integrate cross tool chains, how to manage projects, and how to set up a target debug environment among other things.

This class can be taken by itself or as a follow-on to the 3-day Hands-on Embedded and Real-time Linux class, which introduces Eclipse as its development environment, but doesn’t go into much detail.
