 Hello Everyone,

 

I am new to this ARM DM 816x Boards. I am able to boot the DM8168 board with NFS and TFTP through my host system. The default demo is running via serial port. Now the question is how do i write my own application? and how do i do the QT application? where i will be doing coding, on my Host machine or on the Board itself?

Any help will be useful.

 

Thanks,
Dheeraj

    Ah, fresh meat, welcome to the treasure hunt.

    Kidding aside, code is usually developed in EZSDK on the host, not on the EVM itself.  For the ARM you'll need a makefile.  A good source for these are the labs from the Embedded Linux Workshop.  These are somewhere on TI's wiki.  Debug is performed using gdb, but make sure that you use the one supplied for ARM and it needs to be upgraded as the one that I received crashes upon attempting to debug multi-threaded code.  Documentation on QT is somewhere on the web.

    Good hunting.

    Thanks Lee. It means while developing code we dont require ARM based board. will my host works as a simulator or debugger for me without using the Development board.
