This page has information about developing Embedded Linux, including links to toolchains, debuggers and other development tools. Also, it has links to pages with debugging tips.
Contents |
Development Tools
Logic Analyzers
- see Logic_Analyzers
Toolchains
- see Toolchains
Debuggers
- Open On-Chip Debugger
- GDB - The GNU debugger
- DDD - Data Display Debugger
- kgdb - kernel source level debugger
- valgrind - memory, cache and other debuggers and profilers
- efence - Memory Debugger
Integrated Development Environments
- Eclipse - Powerfull IDE written in JAVA.
- jEdit - Editor written in JAVA which can be expanded to a full IDE with plug-ins.
- KDevelop - Standard IDE for KDE.
- Emacs - Powerful IDE, extensible in LISP, ships with modes to integrates with SCM (GIT, SVN, CVS...), build systems, debugger and even fancy multi-window with ECB.
- VIm - Powerful IDE, extensible with scripting, can use various modules for completion and more.
- KScope - Cscope based source editing environment with KDE.
- Anjuta - IDE with nice plugin support
- FIXTHIS - need more links for IDEs
Emulators
Tracers and Profilers
- see Kernel Trace Systems
- see Profilers
Benchmarks
Source Management Tools
There are a number of tools for managing patches, which are useful for different tasks. There's now a whole page devoted to this. See Source Management Tools
For some simple tools for managing patches, see Diff And Patch Tricks
Test Systems
- See Test Systems
Developer Resources
mailing lists, web sites, etc.
Articles on kernel subsystems
- The TTY Demystified - excellent explanation of kernel tty system
- Device Trees - a structure used to describe system hardware at startup - can be passed or modified by firmware, or built into kernel
