Software Overview
This section gives an overview of the different parts of
the SDK for the ETRAX
100LX chip family (Refer to
Products for general information about the CPU and other
product offerings) and the CRIS cross-compiler distribution. The SDK
and the cross-compiler distribution comprise the software
needed to setup a local development environment to build
custom firmware images. These are images that are bootable on
a system with an ETRAX 100LX CPU.
| Development environment |
The
cross-compiler
and -debugger supplied
works in the same
manor as compilers and debuggers
used on most Linux systems. |
| Operating system |
The operating system of
choice is either Linux 2.4
or Linux 2.6.
Both include the CRIS port to execute
the OS on the ETRAX 100LX CPU. |
| Common applications |
Various
applications are
included in the SDK. Refer to the applications
section for a description of all the applications that
we supply for the platform. |
SDK hardware
configuration
The SDK is configurable for many custom HW
setups by the use of parameters in the configure files

setups for the common products listed below. These are added
to reduce the setup time and increase the ease of use.
