Linux app using CCSV5.1 on Windows

Jeffrey Zhang80203

Hi

I am newbie to Linux development. I heard from someone says, you can develop linux with CCS on Windows. And I also see this link from TI:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_create_GCC_projects_in_CCSv5#Creating_a_Linux_GCC_project_in_Windows_hosted_CCSv5

So I want someone can confirm this: Does CCS can develop Linux app on windows without a Linux Host? and How does it work?

Thanks.

Jeff

    Jeff,

    Yes, the link you sent answers your first question.

    Once the linux application is built, you can simply copy the executable to the target board: either to the filesystem of the SD card used to boot the board or to a USB pendrive that can be connected to the board's USB host port. 

    Debugging the application is a similar scenario: the debugger setup is similar to what is shown in the Run mode section of the Linux debug page, obviously adjusting the directories to the correct placement of the CodeSourcery utilities.

    For Stop mode (low-level) debug you will need a copy of the linux source files in the windows PC.

    Despite this, since you are new in Linux development I strongly suggest following the instructions in the developer's guide that is provided with each SDK - although they usually make use of Linux PCs, they are usually very thorough in its instructions.

    Regards,

    Rafael
