Embedded Linux Development using Eclipse

Over the past few years the open source Eclipse platform has become the de facto standard for Integrated Development Environments in the embedded software industry.  Embedded Linux vendors such as Monta Vista, Wind River and LynuxWorks have all adopted Eclipse as the basis for there respective tool chains.

With the summer 2008 Ganymede release, the Eclipse C Development Toolkit (CDT)  achieved a level of polish and usability that rivals commercial products.

In this practical, hands-on guide, Doug Abbott walks you through the steps required to successfully use the Eclipse platform for embedded software development with a specific emphasis on Linux.

Topics include:

bullet

Basic Eclipse operation

bullet

The C/C++ Development Toolkit

bullet

Debugging

bullet

Connecting to a remote target

bullet

Plug-ins

bullet

Source code control (CVS)

bullet

UML

By reading this book from start to finish, the embedded developer will gain a rare insight into everything Eclipse from its history, through a guided installation of Eclipse and CDT, and then into examples of new features, new projects, plug-ins and commercial offerings.  This will give the embedded developer a confidence and understanding to become very productive very quickly when using this new environment.
