LEON/NOEL-V C/C++ IDE for Eclipse

 

Software IDE quick-start guide

We provide a quick-start guide on how to setup the Eclipse framework or Microsoft Visual Code to be used for the development of LEON/NOEL-V applications, together with a GCC tool-chain. The document shows how to make it possible to cross-compile C/C++ application for the processor family, and to debug them either in a simulator (TSIM) or on a target hardware (GRMON).

The LIDE plugin - Deprecated

We provide an old deprecated plugin for the Eclipse Kepler framework, which allows the C Development Tooling (CDT) to be used for the development of LEON applications. The plugin makes it possible to cross-compile C and C++ application for LEON , and to debug them either in a simulator (TSIM) or on a target hardware (GRMON). The plugin is provided as is and is provided free of charge. No technical support will be provided.

System requirements

  • Unix or windows workstation
  • Eclipse 4.3.0 Kepler
  • CDT
  • MinGW (on Windows hosts)
  • BCC 1.0.29 and/or RCC 1.0.15 or later
  • GRMON version 1.1.19 or later

Eclipse must be restarted before the new plugin is recognized. 

The paths to the BCC/RCC tool-chains must be added environment variable PATH.
