I have Googled for many days and read countless circular threads and honestly I still don't get it. I have what appears on the surface to be a simple goal:
"Create an Eclipse based development environment which can be used to code, compile and debug c/c++ programs which will run on an Intel Galileo Gen2 board."
Requirements:
1) IDE and tools to run under some variant of Linux (preferably Ubuntu 14.04 but any will do)
2) Executable to run under current Big Image kernel
Options:
1) Remote deploy/debug would be nice.
What I don't need is Python or Java or Ruby on Rails or Debian or any of that. Just plain K&R/Stroustrup. Or even just some crippled form of K&R alone.
Now I know this has surely been done. I mean the Xtools would appear to be there in the Arduino package. If I could install the Eclipse Plugin, it would seem like configuring it would be a matter of pointing to the tools where they live under Arduino. But I can't seem to find the Plugin. Maybe it is built via the Less-Than-Decipherable Yocto voodoo Cake-bake whatever that I really don't want to do because I don't need a custom kernel?
I've used Intel products since the 8086/186 days. I mean like assembly language and an ICE the size of a Buick. The first Linux kernel I installed had a major version number of "0". The process was less than straightforward. Point being I'm fairly bright guy with some relevant experience. What am I missing? If someone would kindly just point me in the right direction and I'll get myself there and write a Howto about it.
Thanks,
Dallas
P.S. It isn't sarcasm, just my pathetic excuse for wit Don't ask about the HP/UX-based gcc-6811 cross-development system WITH software emulation, RCS SCM all integrated through EMACS. Yeah. It can be done. I don't remember why exactly, but it can be done.
