Toolchain Introduction
To ensure that an application will be able to run correctly when installed on Jetbox, you must
ensure that it is compiled and linked to the same libraries that will be present on the
Jetbox9500.
The cross-compiling toolchain that comes with Jetbox9500 contains a suite of Korenix
compilers and other tools, as well as the libraries and headers that are necessary to compile
applications for Jetbox9500. The build environment must be running Linux and install with the
Jetbox9500 Toolchain. We have confirmed that the following Linux distributions can be used
to install the tool chain: Fedora Core 9, Centos 5.
The Toolchain will need about 208 MB of hard disk space on your Linux PC. The Jetbox9500
toolchain is included in the JetBox9500 SDK, which can download from
http://www.korenixembedded.com.
The SDK can be extract at any directory, for example, your HOME directory.
You can extract the SDK with following command:
tar zxvf jetbox9500-sdk-<version>.tar.gz
The README file will teach you how to install the Toolchain, and application examples are in
the
ap_src
directory.
