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 "/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin"

Prefix type "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-"

• Emdebian Toolchain:

Folder "/usr/bin"

Prefix type "arm-linux-gnueabi-"

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.

Download Code Examples SPI, I2C, GPIOs and more

• Included Demos:

• SPI
• I2C
• GPIO
• RTC
• UART
• Watchdog
• ADC (only for i.MX25)

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/.

Booting via NFS

• Prepare the virtual machine

• Place the root file system in the folder "/work/nfsroot"
• Check whether the line below is part of the "/etc/exports" file

/tftpboot/nfsroot X.X.X.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,insecure)

The X must be substituted by our network settings

• Restart the nfs-server by using this commando

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

• Prepare the DHCOM module

• Go to the U-Boot console by pressing DEL/BACKSPACE on a RS232 terminal (during startup)
• Change to NFS mode

setenv bootcmd 'run nandbootlinuxnfs'

(Back to normal with 'run nandbootlinux')

• Set the IP address of the nfs-server (normally the IP address of the virtual machine)

setenv serverip X.X.X.X

The X must be substituted by our IP address

• Save environment

saveenv
