Hi ,

Present we are using linux and android open -source software.

Linux:Linux kernel is used for our ARM embedded targets.In the open source we can develop own device drivers and user frindly operations.Easisy we can develop mobiles using android open software.Its free source.

Thanks,

Hi

   My name is Enming XIE. I am student of UTBM in France.

   The open-source software I have used are:

    - Qt / QtE : very good design tool for embedded application.   The famous KDE is developped with it

    - MDK 4.12 (by Enterprise Keil) : Very good IDE for embedded debug / development, more advanced than the Keil 2/3

    - Eclipse : good IDE to impot projects, easy to develop. very good embedded design tool

    - VS 2010/2012 : Microsoft great IDE, similar to Eclipse

    - Qemu : open-source emulator for embedded develop, so good, I have used a lot

    - ADS 1.2 : ARM Development Suite, really good IDE for ARM develop, working together with AXD you can easily debug

    - Tornado2.2 : very good IDE for VxWorks developement, along with Wind3 you can develop GUI of VxWorks

    - Buildroot : really good and easy tool to generate almost everything for your embedded development, espesially Embedded Linux

    - GTK(+) : similar to Qt, a library of  GUI development, very good.   The famous GNOME is developped with it

    - EFL : similar to Qt, another library for GUI development in the domain of Embedded. Lighter than Qt and GTK

    - Busybox : also very good tool for embedded development

    - GCC + GDB : no need to explain

    - Git, Mercurial, etc : version control software, very useful

    - DNW, SecureCRT, etc : useful tool for download images into NAND/NOR of the boards (developement chips)

You are right. Of course, in much level, a payed software is often better than a free one. But open-source does't mean that it's free, that's different.

What I know is that GCC (G++) is one of the most important contribution which is made by the open-source community (GNU), suitable for many situations and different architectures.

Insight, do you mean Source Insight ? It's a very good tool to help read source code, but for debug, I have't tried. As I know, Source Insight is not free, is that right ?

I haven't used eCos, so I don't know. I have a little knowledge about uCosII, a good open-source RTOS.

Welcome your opnions and pointing of my mistakes :=)

VxWorks is expensive. uCosII is in some level smaller than VxWorks and suitable for new learner of RTOS.

I hava downloaded the source code of uCosII, but the source code of VxWorks, I can't find.

I haven't experience in using RTOS, I just "touched" an edge of RTOS........ I am reading a book about uCosII written by a Chinese doctor in USA.

Still so much to learn.

Hi CodeSourcery,

          I am working in Embedded system product development company.

Here we are using folllowing opensource tool,

1. Python scripting -  UI development and office automation

2.Perl scripting - Software Testing

3.sdcc - Using for P89v51RD2 ,P89V664

4.arm-gcc-toolchain - For LPC1343 and LPC1769 ARM Cortex-M3 series

5. GNU/Linux (Debian Squeeze) we are using as OS for Desktop computers

6.SVN - Version mangement tool

Hi,

We use Open source softwares such as Linux Desktops in our office.

We use Open Suse 11.3

OpenOffice.

Konqueror

KDE4 desktop.

WebKit bassed browser.

VIM source code editor.

....

The list is very big i cannot add it all of them here.

Thanks for initiating and giving T Shirts. Please send me one.

Thanks,

Hi

I am using Frescale MQX for ARM Cortex-M Series and linux 2.6 for ARM 9.

Linux:Linux kernel is used for our ARM embedded targets.In the open source we can develop own device drivers and user frindly operations.

hi,

we are using linux with both Qt and Android on our ARM platform, and also obviously we use cross compilers and debugers witch also a open source software,

comming to usage:

• I can modify the source according to my own requirment, in this point of view we have changed our linux kernel a lot to achive our requriments, this can only be done with open source.
• we can use the default preebuilt source directly, and more over we can get all the source with out investment.
• by using open-source customization of hardware as well as software is flexible.
• Finally by using Open-source i can get a cool T-shirt.

and my personal intrest about Open soruce we can learn from scrach (i.e the total internal issue), and i enjoy a lot while working with open-source especally Linux, but one thing seems difficult for me is understanding the code, but as a developer its not mandatroy to understand the code, but just to know how to use that, so its not a problem.

At last i can conclude that Open-Source was awesome.

Thak You,

Sreenivas.

Hello,

after moving from T-Kernel to Linux for embedded devices using OSS .

GCOV and armRVCT compiler was used for T-Kernel

now using the complete GCC Pro release from Codesourcery for ARM with success

using openEmbedded since 3 Years. it's concept is great.

However, You need a fast workstation with huge hard disk and the documentation is not very complete.

So it's difficult to find many use case for adapting the standard OE distributions on the internet.

after all OE is a flexible cross-compilation tool suite which covers all needs of professional integration and build management.

hoping that documentation and speed and automatisation for continous nightly build will be even better with YOCTO.

regards, peter

Hi:

Present we are using linux software on TI AM3359(Cortex A8).
we use GUN command line compile the uboot, linux kernel, and app.

Hope to have the the IDE under the Windows, CodeBench IDE?


Thanks,
