Eclipse IDE
This is a page created for those who are interested in running an IDE for developing NIOS II uClinux code. Eclipse is based on java, initially developed by IBM, and now open source.
Downloading and installation
These two pieces of software to run Eclipse IDE: Java runtime and Eclipse-SDK.
They can be downloaded at Sun java and Eclipse.org. The example I give is based on the three files I downloaded at the time.
Installing JRE
The following command does it
su
mkdir /usr/java
mv jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin ./
chmod 744 jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bincd /usr/java
./jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
Follow the instruction on your terminalComplete instruction can be found on java's website.
Installing CDT 3.1
Note: It is important to install CDT before Eclipse-SDk (it shouldn't matter, but somehow I find that Eclipse did not register the later plug-in if CDT is post installed)
Download CDT 3.1 (org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-3.1.0-linux.x86.tar.gz) from here
Place the file in /usr.
cp org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-3.1.0-linux.x86.tar.gz /usr
cd /usr
tar xvzf org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-3.1.0-linux.x86.tar.gz
Installing Eclipse-SDK
Place eclipse-SDK-3.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz file in /usr
tar xvzf eclipse-SDK-3.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz
rm eclipse-SDK-3.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz (optional)
Running Eclipse
/usr/eclipse/eclipse -vm /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java &
Stuff to come
You can follow the blackfin uClinux wiki for further stuff. Please add to this page if anyone has gone further.
