Eclipse Embedded Development Environment...
Eclipse Ganymede
Macraigor Systems now offers you a free full Eclipse Ganymede embedded debugging solution with example Eclipse projects that run on many (ARM, Xscale, MIPS32/64, TX49,
PowerPC, AMCC, ...) standard evaluation boards.
The Macraigor Eclipse (Ganymede) + GNU Tools Suite is an
implementation and packaging of Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede), the CDT (C/C++
Development Tooling) 5.0.x, and DSDP (Defice Software Development
Platform) 1.0 plugins, and a program called OcdRemote that provides
an interface between Eclipse, the GDB debugger and a Macraigor
On-Chip Debug device.
In our example Eclipse projects we have integrated the
GNU tools into the free, open-source Eclipse IDE. Taken together, these
tools and the Eclipse framework provide a complete environment for
cross development targeted at several families of embedded processors.
Macraigor distributes versions of the Eclipse + GNU Tools suite for the
following processors:
- ARM 7/9/11
- Coldfire 2
- Cortex A8,M3
- Intel Atom
- MIPS (32 and 64 bit)
- PowerPC
- XScale
Our Eclipse FAQ can be found here.
For those of you who want to purchase a version that is fully
supported, check out CodeSourcery,
compatible with our hardware.
Step By Step Eclipse + GNU Tools Suite Installation Instructions
for both Windows and Linux Hosts:
HTML PDF
It is vital that you carefully follow our instructions
on installing the files to get a properly working Eclipse environment.
It is strongly suggested that you use the links and files we offer
since this set of executables has been thoroughly tested and therefore
are known to work together.

2. Macraigor OCDRemote + Macraigor Utilities/Drivers +
Eclipse 3.4 Example Projects:
OcdRemote is a utility that listens on a TCP/IP port
and translates GDB monitor commands into Raven/mpDemon
JTAG/BDM commands. This lets you run your version of GDB which views
our interface device as a target monitor accessed via Ethernet. These
downloads install Linux 32 or Linux 64 USB device drivers, OCDRemote, OCD
Commander, UsbDemon Finder and JTAG Scan Chain Analyzer in /usr/local/bin,
and Example Eclipse/GNU projects in /usr/local/macraigor/EclipseDemos/<CPU
TYPE> directories.
As above, the OCDRemote RPM was installed and tested on
Red Hat Fedora Core 2 - Core 10 (up to 2.6.27) Linux 32 systems and Red Hat
Enterprise 5, Fedora core 6 - 10 (2.6.18 - 2.6.27) Linux 64 Systems.
