After 3 attempts, I was unable to install Ubuntu under Virtual Machine. So decided to install Ubuntu within Windows (Wubi). The next step is to install the compiler/linker/debugger tool chain. 1) Is there an Eclipse based IDE that will allow me to get the cross-compiling going?
2) Do I need to purchase a debugger that works with our P&E USB Multilink BDM or I can find it for free? Any documentation of hints for the next step: being able to compile and download/burn ucLinux on a board will be greatly appreciated.
