• Installing Eclipse (and plugins)

The Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) has excellent GDB support. However, there are a few stumbling blocks when trying to debug embedded applications, which Zylin AS has made some modifications in Eclipse CDT to improve support for GDB embedded debugging.

• Requires Eclipse 3.2 release.
• Both plugins must be installed together.

To install:

1. Find the plugin installation directory. You can do this by going to HELP → Software Updates → Manage Configuration. This should provide a window that looks like:

1. Make note of this directory. In this case /usr/share/eclipse
2. Delete previous CDT and Zylin Embedded CDT directories from /usr/share/eclipse/features and /usr/share/eclipse/plugins directory.
3. Download the plugins - 20060908 snapshot, and unzip them into to the /usr/share/eclipse directory.
4. restart eclipse.
5. In HELP → About Eclipse SDK → Plug-in Details, see if Zylin is properly registered.
6. Open a debug Windows, and select Embedded debug (Native)
