4 === Integration with Eclipse
6 While a part of the embedded Linux developers like classical text
7 editors like Vim or Emacs, and command-line based interfaces, a number
8 of other embedded Linux developers like richer graphical interfaces to
9 do their development work. Eclipse being one of the most popular
10 Integrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse
11 in order to ease the development work of Eclipse users.
13 Our integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote
14 execution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are
15 built on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the
16 Buildroot configuration and build processes themselves with
17 Eclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration
20 * Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make
21 xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with
23 * Build your Buildroot system by running +make+.
24 * Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom
25 applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built
26 and installed by Buildroot.
28 The Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is
