| === 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 |
| described in detail at |
| https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-bundle/wiki. |
