Add IoT stuff to already existing Eclipse install in Ubuntu

[Mario_M_]

Hi guys,

I am new to the Edison platform.  I've been working with a BeableBone Black for a little while though.

I've searched the forums about this but I did not find what I was looking for.

So I have a laptop running Ubuntu where I do all my development from and it already has the Eclipse CDT installed, meaning I can write code in c/c++ compile and run it (locally and also remotely in the Beaglebone Black).

Can anyone help me out with figuring out what has to be added/installed in eclipse in order to be able to code for the Edison platform in my existing environment?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

You would need to download the Linux toolchain for cross compiling to the Edison.

You can check out my post about Qt Creator IDE and CMake. If you read the tutorial, you should be able to adapt it to your own Eclipse IDE:

Else you can install Eclipse IDE for IoT platforms following the Getting Started with the Intel® Edison board on Linux*

I wanted to avoid using another copy of Eclipse since I already have it installed.

I'll give your instructions a try.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks.

So I got it to work as far as compiling the code and generating the executable, but I have not been able to get the debugger to work, nor deploy the code to the board - it only runs locally.

I'll keep at it :)
