Eclipse being one of the most popular 10Integrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse 11in order to ease the development work of Eclipse users. 12 13Our integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote 14execution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are 15built on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the 16Buildroot configuration and build processes themselves with 17Eclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration 18would be: 19 20* Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make 21 xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with 22 Buildroot. 23* Build your Buildroot system by running +make+. 24* Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom 25 applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built 26 and installed by Buildroot. 27 28The Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is 29described in detail at 30https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-bundle/wiki. 31
