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


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
