Gumstix and the OpenEmbedded environment can be tricky for new users to setup. Likewise, the tools for working with Gumstix tend to be rather Linux-focused so it can be challenging for Windows and Macintosh users to get started.
During the spring of 2010, Gumstix Engineers have been playing with the Eclipse IDE in an attempt to create a rudimentary tour of the capabilities of the Gumstix modules for new or less-experienced users. Some of the things, tested within Eclipse are listed:
- creating a console connection (look Ma, not TeraTerm or kermit!) and installing packages
- writing "Hello, World" a la python
- using a VNC viewer from inside Eclipse
- write, uploading, running, and debugging a graphical Java application
- cross-compiliting and remote debugging C & C++ code (thanks to buglabs and others)
- using the Bitbake Commander Plugin ( thans to Ken Gilmer)
Their first stab at documenting these things can be found here.
There is a discussion on the mailing list regarding this new documentation here.
