5 Software Development

OMAP3 based Devices Debian 7.0 will be supplied with OMAP3 based devices. It is based on

an arm-linux-gnueabihf 4.7 toolchain. To install this toolchain on your development PC, you’ll

need to add emdebian repository. Add deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Then execute as root:

apt-get update

apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring

apt-get install gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf

apt-get install build-essential git debootstrap u-boot-tools

After installation you’ll need to create symlinks for GCC and other tools:

ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.7 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-4.7 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov

ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.7 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++

ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp-4.7 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp

If your software has dependencies on other libraries provided by Debian, it is recommended to use

Debian 7 on your development host. You can get cross-compiled libraries via xapt (see this wiki

for more details).

Alternatively you can use Buildroot (refer to Section 10) as your development environment. This

way you can develop applications with various dependencies like Qt, Boost, Gtk etc. directly on

your development host.

5.1.3. Integrated Development Environment

For an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) following programs can be used:

• Eclipse (www.eclipse.org). See Appendix F for installation and conﬁguration notes

• Vim

(www.vim.org)

• many more

For ease of creating Makeﬁles the CMake

utility can be used. For that purpose the CMakeLists.txt

ﬁle was added to the examples directory. After installing CMake on your OnRISC directly or on

your development host execute:

cd /home/user/examples

cmake .

After that the Makeﬁle is created. This Makeﬁle has the same targets as the original one.
