APPENDIX B

The Embedded Linux Learning Kit

Chapter 6, “Device Software Development Platform,” goes through the process of connecting Eclipse to a target computer for running and debugging applications. If you don’t have a suitable target board, you might consider the Embedded Linux Learning Kit (E.L.L.K.) from Intellimetrix.

More than just a target board, the Embedded Linux Learning Kit is designed to teach embedded Linux in a practical, self-paced, hands-on environment, taking you step-bystep through the process of building and testing real embedded applications on real hardware. You’ll learn how to:

• Set up boot parameters and boot Linux

• Configure and build the Linux kernel

• Build and debug application code over the network

• Access peripheral devices with and without device drivers

• Create network-based applications including a simple web server

The Embedded Linux Learning Kit uses a single board computer (SBC) with an ARM9 processor and a preloaded Linux kernel. Features include:

• 180 MHz, 200 MIPS ARM9 processor (Atmel AT91RM9200)

• 64 MB of DRAM

• 8 MB SPI serial Flash

• 256 MB NAND Flash

• 16 KB bootloader EEPROM

• SD/MMC socket

• Parallel LCD interface

• 10/100 Ethernet port

• USB 2.0 host and device ports

• IrDA transceiver

• RS-232 serial port for debugging

• On-board temperature sensor

• User-programmable LEDs and switches

• Optional LCD graphics display

The complete kit includes:

• Single board computer

• Power supply

• Serial and Ethernet crossover cables

• Pre-installed Linux kernel and U-Boot boot loader

• CD with support software:

 ? Cross-development tools

 ? Kernel source

 ? Eclipse IDE

 ? Tutorial code samples

• User’s guide
