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.
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.
