[hide]Forewords
Before writing your first program, you will need to build the required tools to compile it on your host system (cross compilation). The gnu toolchain will be used.
Lexical
- Binutils: several gnu utilities
- Buildroot / busybox: "swiss knife"
- GCC: GNU compiler
- GDB: GNU debugger
- RootFS: root file system. File system which will be installed on your target
- UBoot: Bios
Recommended System Requirements
- HD free space: at least 1.5GB
- 1Go RAM is preferable
- 2GHz processor with a 533MHz FSB
- High speed Internet connection (1Mbits)
With these settings, you will get a complete toolchain, linux and the rootfs in about 1h30.
Linux installation
Window$ installation
After a performance test with VMWare, it is clear that Cygwin will be no more supported. We have observed quite a factor 2 in terms of compilation improvements.
- What is VMWare ?: it is a virtualization tool able to run a standard Linux distrib on a native Windows system or Windows on a Linux native system.
- VMWare player is free. VMWare desktop (used to create the first virtual system) is available for evaluation. You need it only one time.
It has to be noted that a VMWare will require more disk space as cygwin because a complete Linux distribution will be installed.
