4*4882a593Smuzhiyun=== Integration with Eclipse
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun
6*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhile a part of the embedded Linux developers like classical text
7*4882a593Smuzhiyuneditors like Vim or Emacs, and command-line based interfaces, a number
8*4882a593Smuzhiyunof other embedded Linux developers like richer graphical interfaces to
9*4882a593Smuzhiyundo their development work. Eclipse being one of the most popular
10*4882a593SmuzhiyunIntegrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse
11*4882a593Smuzhiyunin order to ease the development work of Eclipse users.
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun
13*4882a593SmuzhiyunOur integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote
14*4882a593Smuzhiyunexecution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are
15*4882a593Smuzhiyunbuilt on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the
16*4882a593SmuzhiyunBuildroot configuration and build processes themselves with
17*4882a593SmuzhiyunEclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration
18*4882a593Smuzhiyunwould be:
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun  xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun  Buildroot.
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Build your Buildroot system by running +make+.
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun  applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun  and installed by Buildroot.
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun
28*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is
