=== Setting up a Eclipse Cross Executable Project: ===
:* Use Eclipse Indigo (version 3.7.1) for your project.
:* Create a new C++ Project and choose as Executable Project type '''Cross-Compile Project''' and as Toolchains '''Cross GCC'''
:* Click the Button "Next" and specify under '''Tool command path''' the Toolchain path.
::*CodeSourcery:
:::Folder "'''<code>/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin'''</code>"
:::Prefix type "<code>'''arm-none-linux-gnueabi-'''</code>"
::*Emdebian Toolchain:
:::Folder "<code>'''/usr/bin'''</code>"
:::Prefix type "<code>'''arm-linux-gnueabi-'''</code>"

=== Code Examples for Userspace-Applications to Access SPI, I2C, GPIOs, and more: ===
:* The following code samples are designed to get you started quickly with the device interfaces to SPI, I2C, GPIOs and more in Linux userspace applications.
:* Within Eclipse you can Import the provided projects:
::* Execute '''">File>Import ..."'''
::* Navigate to '''">General>Existing Projects into Workspace"''' within the import dialog
::* Follow the dialog until you have finished.

:: [[media:Demos_SPI_I2C_GPIO.zip|Download Code Examples SPI, I2C, GPIOs and more ]] 

::* Included Demos:
:::* SPI
:::* I2C
:::* GPIO
:::* RTC
:::* UART
:::* Watchdog
:::* ADC (only for i.MX25)

:: [[media:DHCOM_HAL.zip|Download C++ HAL class library for SPI, I2C, GPIO, UART and physical address space access]]



:* For further documentation have a look at [http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/].

=== Booting via NFS ===
:* Prepare the virtual machine
::* Place the root file system in the folder "<code>'''/work/nfsroot'''</code>"
::* Check whether the line below is part of the "<code>'''/etc/exports'''</code>" file
::: <code>'''/tftpboot/nfsroot X.X.X.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)'''</code>
::: The <code>'''X'''</code> must be substituted by our network settings
::* Restart the nfs-server by using this commando
:::{| class="wikitable"
|<code>''/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart''</code>
|}
:* Prepare the DHCOM module
::* Go to the U-Boot console by pressing '''DEL/BACKSPACE''' on a RS232 terminal (during startup)
::* Change to NFS mode
:::{| class="wikitable"
|<code>''setenv bootcmd 'run nandbootlinuxnfs'''</code>
|}
:::(Back to normal with <code>'run nandbootlinux'</code>)
::* Set the IP address of the nfs-server (normally the IP address of the virtual machine)
:::{| class="wikitable"
|<code>''setenv serverip X.X.X.X''</code>
|}
:::The <code>X</code> must be substituted by our IP address
::* Save environment
:::{| class="wikitable"
|<code>''saveenv''</code>
