Introduction
PHYTEC Messtechnik GmbH 2015 L-781e_7 3
Our Ubuntu version comes with Unity as desktop environment, dpkg as package
management system, the update method is based on APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) and
the user space uses GNU.
1.5.2 Eclipse
The Eclipse platform provides support for C/C++. Because the Eclipse platform is only a
framework for developer tools, it does not support C/C++ directly, instead it uses external
plug-ins. This Application Guide shows you how to make use of the CDT plug-in.
The CDT is an open source project (licensed under the Common Public License)
implemented purely in Java as a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse SDK platform. These plug-ins
add a C/C++ perspective to the Eclipse Workbench that can now support C/C++ development
with a number of views and wizards, along with advanced editing and debugging support.
1.5.3 Qt Creator
Qt Creator is a cross-platform development environment for the Qt framework. Included are
a code editor and a Qt Designer to build graphical user interfaces (GUI). It uses the GNU
C/C++ compiler.
1.5.4 Yocto Project
The Yocto Project is an open source collaboration to create custom Linux-based systems for
embedded products regardless of the hardware architecture. We use the Yocto Project to
create the Board Support Package (BSP) for our hardware.
