Overview

This page is a work in progress.  

OpenEmbedded Tools for Eclipse (OTE) is a set of Eclipse plugins to make using OpenEmbedded from within Eclipse possible.

Status

OTE is in a beta form. Functionality present within the plugins should work well, but development on them is fairly new. Bugs are expected!

License

OTE is licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL).

Source

Sources are available at svn://svn.buglabs.net/ote/trunk.

Updatesite

The OTE updatesite, used to install the plugins from within Eclipse:

Workflow

OTE is designed to facilitate a set of typical actions or tasks that an OE developer would do.

Install OpenEmbedded

1. To install a new copy of OpenEmbedded, select the wizard from the File -> New... -> Other... menu. Ote create project wizard 1.png


2. Next, select the flavor of OpenEmbedded you wish to install. Ote create project wizard 2.png


3. Now specify configuration parameters. If fields are unfamiliar, leave the defaults and proceed. Ote create project wizard 3.png


4. Assuming all the necessary system tools are available, the wizard will download sources and configure your new OpenEmbedded install.

When the wizard completes (this may take some time) you will find a new project in your workspace that contains your new OpenEmbedded install. You can browse the files as any other Eclipse project.
