Step 5: Install EDK
Tip:
It is recommended that you uninstall older installations of EDK prior to installing these programs
unless you need the older versions.
View EDK Customer Information
•
Please view the EDK Customer Information prior to installing EDK. On the installation CD
there is a
README_FIRST.pdf
file that contains a variety of information about the specific
EDK release. (Windows users must manually explore the CD as the installer is set to run
automatically when the CD is inserted.)
•
Under the doc directory of the CD, you can also find “
Getting Started with EDK”
(
edk_getstarted.pdf
). This document contains EDK installation instructions and is the starting
point for learning how to use the Embedded Development Kit tool suite.
