How-To install Armadeus Software Development Kit for Linux/Window$

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

LinuxInstall

Window$ installation

Note: the native host operating system to compile the toolchain is Linux. A lot of time is spent to successfully compile it under Windows as well. Despite these efforts, some limitations or troubles can be observed. Please report them.
