2.6.2.1.2. Configuring the Eclipse IDE

This section presents the steps needed to configure the Eclipse IDE.

Before installing and configuring the Eclipse Yocto Plug-in, you need to configure the Eclipse IDE. Follow these general steps:

  1. Start the Eclipse IDE.

  2. Make sure you are in your Workbench and select "Install New Software" from the "Help" pull-down menu.

  3. Select Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna from the "Work with:" pull-down menu.

    Note

    For Kepler, select Kepler - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler

  4. Expand the box next to "Linux Tools" and select the Linux Tools LTTng Tracer Control, Linux Tools LTTng Userspace Analysis, and LTTng Kernel Analysis boxes. If these selections do not appear in the list, that means the items are already installed.

    Note

    For Kepler, select LTTng - Linux Tracing Toolkit box.

  5. Expand the box next to "Mobile and Device Development" and select the following boxes. Again, if any of the following items are not available for selection, that means the items are already installed:

    • C/C++ Remote Launch (Requires RSE Remote System Explorer)

    • Remote System Explorer End-user Runtime

    • Remote System Explorer User Actions

    • Target Management Terminal (Core SDK)

    • TCF Target Explorer

  6. Expand the box next to "Programming Languages" and select the C/C++ Autotools Support and C/C++ Development Tools boxes. For Luna, these items do not appear on the list as they are already installed.
