    <title>Developing Applications Using <trademark class='trade'>Eclipse</trademark></title>

    <para>
        If you are familiar with the popular Eclipse IDE, you can use an
        Eclipse Yocto Plug-in to allow you to develop, deploy, and test your
        application all from within Eclipse.
        This chapter describes general workflow using the SDK and Eclipse
        and how to configure and set up Eclipse.

                    This chapter assumes development of applications on top of
                    an image prepared using the Yocto Project.
                    As such, inclusion of a pre-built image or the building of
                    an image is included in the workflow.

                    Realize that you can easily use Eclipse and the Yocto
                    Project plug-in to develop an application for any number
                    of images developed and tested on different machines.

            The following figure and supporting list summarize a
            general workflow for application development that uses the
            SDK within the Eclipse IDE.
            The application developed runs on top of an image created using
            the Yocto Project.

                    The SDK provides a target-specific cross-development

                    Depending on the type of image you are running, the
                    root filesystem you need differs.
                    For example, if you are developing an application that
                    runs on an image that supports Sato, you need to get a
                    root filesystem that supports Sato.</para>

        <para>
            When you install and configure the Eclipse Yocto Project
            Plug-in into the Eclipse IDE, you maximize your Yocto
            Project experience.
            Installing and configuring the Plug-in results in an
            environment that has extensions specifically designed to let
            you more easily develop software.
            These extensions allow for cross-compilation, deployment, and
            execution of your output into a QEMU emulation session as well
            as actual target hardware.
            You can also perform cross-debugging and profiling.
            The environment also supports performance enhancing
            <ulink url='http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/'>tools</ulink>
            that allow you to perform remote profiling, tracing,

                    Configuring the Oxygen Eclipse Yocto Plug-in involves
                    setting the Cross Compiler options and the Target
                    options.
                    The configurations you choose become the default
                    settings for all projects.
                    You do have opportunities to change them later when
                    you configure the project (see the following section).

                        Cross Compiler options enable Eclipse to use your
                        specific cross compiler toolchain.
                        To configure these options, you must select
                        the type of toolchain, point to the toolchain,
                        specify the sysroot location, and select the target
                        architecture.

                                        Select this type when you are using
                                        a stand-alone cross-toolchain.
                                        For example, suppose you are an
                                        application developer and do not
                                        need to build a target image.
                                        Instead, you just want to use an
                                        architecture-specific toolchain on
                                        an existing kernel and target root
                                        filesystem.
                                        In other words, you have downloaded
                                        and installed a pre-built toolchain
                                        for an existing image.

                                        Select this type if you built the
                                        toolchain as part of the

                                        Directory.
                                        For example, suppose you created a
                                        suitable image using the steps in the

                                        In this situation, you would select

                            The host on which you are running QEMU must
                            have the <filename>rpcbind</filename> utility
                            running to be able to make RPC calls on a
                            server on that machine.
                            If QEMU does not invoke and you receive error
                            messages involving
                            <filename>rpcbind</filename>, follow the
                            suggestions to get the service running.
                            As an example, on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
                            installation, you must do the following in a new
                            shell in order to get QEMU to launch:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ sudo apt-get install rpcbind
                            </literallayout>
                            After installing <filename>rpcbind</filename>,
                            you need to edit the
                            <filename>/etc/init.d/rpcbind</filename> file
                            to include the following line:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     OPTIONS="-i -w"
                            </literallayout>
                            After modifying the file, you need to start the
                            service:
                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ sudo service portmap restart
                            </literallayout>

                        If needed, enter your host root password in

                        Once QEMU launches, you can begin operating
                        within that environment.
                        One useful task at this point would be to determine
                        the IP Address for the user-space NFS by using the
                        <filename>ifconfig</filename> command.
                        The IP address of the QEMU machine appears in the
                        xterm window.
                        You can use this address to help you see which
                        particular
                        IP address the instance of QEMU is using.

            <para>
                Once the QEMU emulator is running the image, you can deploy
                your application using the Eclipse IDE and then use
                the emulator to perform debugging.
                Follow these steps to deploy the application.
                <note>
                    Currently, Eclipse does not support SSH port
                    forwarding.
                    Consequently, if you need to run or debug a remote
                    application using the host display, you must create a
                    tunneling connection from outside Eclipse and keep
                    that connection alive during your work.
                    For example, in a new terminal, run the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY <replaceable>user_name</replaceable>@<replaceable>remote_host_ip</replaceable>
                    </literallayout>
                    Using the above form, here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ ssh -XY root@192.168.7.2
                    </literallayout>
                    After running the command, add the command to be
                    executed in Eclipse's run configuration before the
                    application as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     export DISPLAY=:10.0
                    </literallayout>
                    Be sure to not destroy the connection during your QEMU
                    session (i.e. do not
                    exit out of or close that shell).

                        You could also browse to any other path you have
                        write access to on the target such as
                        <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                        This location is where your application will be
                        located on the QEMU system.
                        If you fail to browse to and specify an appropriate
                        location, QEMU will not understand what to remotely
                        launch.
                        Eclipse is helpful in that it auto fills your
                        application name for you assuming you browsed to a
                        directory.
