Our
Ubuntu version comes with Unity as desktop environment, dpkg as package
management system, the update method is based on APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) and
the user space uses GNU .
1.5.2 Eclipse
The Eclips e platform provides support for C/C++ . Because the Eclipse platform is only a
framework for developer tools, it does not support C/C++ directly, instead it uses external
plug-ins. This Application Guide shows you how to make use of the CDT plug-in.
The
CDT is an open source project (licensed under the Common Public License)
implemented purely in Java as a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse SDK platform. These plug-ins
add a C/C++ perspective to the Eclipse Workbench that can now support C/C++ development
with a number of views and wizards, along with advanced editing and debugging support.
1.5.3 Qt Creator
Qt Creator is a cross-platform development environment for the Qt framework. Included are
a code editor and a Qt Designer to build graphical user interfaces (GUI). It uses the GNU
C/C++ compiler.
1.5.4 Yocto Project
The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration to create custom Linux-based systems for
embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. We use the Yocto Project to
create the Board Support Package (BSP) for our hardware.
