1 Module Introduction PURPOSE: The intent of this module is to provide an overview of CodeWarrior Linux Tools and Solutions and the Linux product strategy. OBJECTIVES: Identify the CodeWarrior Linux Tools and Solutions Describe CodeWarrior Linux product strategy Identify the components of this strategy CONTENT: 10 pages 2 questions LEARNING TIME: 20 minutes Welcome to the module on Embedded Linux Tools and Solutions. This module explains how Freescale has streamlined Linux development with Embedded Linux Tools and Solutions a completely integrated embedded Linux environment that supports development from board bring-up all the way through to the final testing and certification process. 1

2 Why CodeWarrior? Single resource for tools and support Support from conception to market Complete Solution: With CodeWarrior, developers no longer need to rely on several different resources for tools and support. Less time is wasted dwelling on hardware, OS, and development board issues. More time is spent on creating custom applications. Here you can see a list of some of the tools. CodeWarrior s complete solution includes tools for Hardware bring up, System/Kernel development, Application development, along with Test and Certification. Freescale also provides solutions for handheld and portable devices, including OpenPDA, PowerParts embedded GUI, and CodeWarrior for Sharp Zaurus. 2

3 Platform Creation Suite Mouse over each bulleted point for more information. Target Wizard Tools Used to manage, configure, extend, build, and deploy traditional open source Linux software elements. CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Used to manage projects, create, build, and debug your value added software, which sits on top of the open source foundation. Board Support Package(s) Includes all of the elements that are required to build, deploy, and debug the operating system, device drivers, and applications on specific hardware reference platforms. Other Features Package Editor Debian Binary Import Tool Linux Kernel Import Tool GNU Tool Importer Platform Creation Suite (PCS) for Embedded Linux OS is a full-featured, integrated development tool suite that targets multiple processor families. Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available for several boards within the ARM, Coldfire, MIPS, PowerPC, SH, and x86 architectures. Platform Creation Suite (PCS) eliminates hardware, OS, and development board issues. It also gives silicon and board vendors the ability to capture their in-house Linux efforts into their own BSP that is fully integrated with PCS. Free Linux BSPs are available and include device drivers and applications for specific target hardware with all of the required host and target elements. 3

4 Linux Platform Development All capabilities of the CodeWarrior IDE Optimized for Linux platform development Windows hosted Create/Build Loadable modules File systems Applications Integrated CodeWarrior Debugger Debug your Linux kernel at the source level Stopmode kernel-level debugging using RDI Debug peripheral device drivers CodeWarrior for Linux Platform Development provides you with all that is necessary to review source execution line-by-line, analyze core files, and display memory and data structures. This Windows hosted version of development tools incorporates a Linux industry standard GNU compiler, linker, and assembler utilities, and the latest CodeWarrior debugger technology. These are all accessible from within the CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Designed for embedded Linux developers, the CodeWarrior solution gives programmers access to all aspects of system development. You can create/build loadable modules, file systems, and applications all from within one development environment. This solution allows Platform developers to debug your Linux kernel at the source level. It also provides advanced hardware developers the ability to do stopmode kernel-level debugging of the Linux kernel using RDI. This is the open debug standard for JTAG hardware, essential for activities like debugging peripheral device drivers. 4

5 Linux Application Development All capabilities of the CodeWarrior IDE Optimized for Linux application development Windows hosted Superior C/C++ code browser One-click navigation utility Integrated CodeWarrior Debugger Multi-threaded debugging Independent run control Seamless multi-process application-level debug CodeWarrior provides you with the ability to develop in a robust visual and complete environment with its Linux application development toolset. Unlike traditional open-source development tools, CodeWarrior Development Studio for Linux Application Development is optimized for Linux application development on a Windows host, leveraging all the capabilities of the CodeWarrior IDE, while allowing you to work on the main enterprise-computing infrastructure. CodeWarrior s IDE provides a superior C/C++ code browser with a oneclick navigation utility. CodeWarrior s tightly integrated debugger has excellent multi-threaded debugging which features each thread in a separate window with independent run control. It also allows seamless multi-process application-level debugging. 5

6 CodeTEST Software Analysis Tools Mouse over Software verification toolset to see more. Software verification toolset See the Issue before it is one Deliver your code with confidence Performance Trace Memory Coverage CodeTEST is a software verification toolset that overcomes the complexities of the embedded software environment from early-phase, host-based design and development, to final-phase test and validation. CodeTEST provides software timing measurements that guarantee software performance and easy validation of design flow execution. It also allows tracking of dynamic memory allocations and memory error reports associated with the original source. This helps developers pinpoint system bugs caused by memory leaks or errors. CodeTEST provides the most comprehensive code coverage used in the industry today. For additional information, the CodeTEST Software Analysis Tools are described in detail in the CodeTEST module. 6

7 OpenPDA Software solution for Personal Digital Assistants Smart phones Standardized, predictable and commercially viable Integration of Embedded Linux Java The GUI framework Browser The OpenPDA platform is a complete solution for personal digital assistants and smart phones. The OpenPDA platform is capable of enhancing even the most innovative hardware designs by combining the best software in the industry with world-class development tools, integration services, and certification capabilities. OpenPDA platform has become a standardized, predictable, and commercially viable mobile computing platform. With OpenPDA platform, developers can reduce time-to-market by working with a configurable and tested integration of Embedded Linux, Java, the GUI framework, and Browser. From handheld gaming to secure business transactions, the OpenPDA platform can be configured to suit any wireless need. 7
