ELinOS is a commercial development environment for
ELinOS focuses on industrial applications.
ELinOS provides
Eclipse is the technical basis for the functionality provided by the integrated development environment (IDE) on the development host.
ELinOS was first published in 1999. A free ELinOS Test Version can be downloaded.
Typical workflow
1. Select the hardware of the target embedded system
- Choose one of the provided board support packages (BSP) or configure the hardware on your own
2. Select the features wanted on the target system
- Examples are real-time support, remote debugging support, networking functionality and a choice of networking servers
3. Compile the Linux kernel
- Based on the previous steps an individual kernel configuration will be proposed. It can be modified manually.
4. Generate the target's file system image
- Based on the previous steps contents for an individual file system will be proposed. Files can be added or removed. Dependencies will be checked and can be resolved automatically.
5. Deploy the file system image to the target system.
- The result of the previous step is a single binary file which the target device can boot
6. Test and analyze the software on the target system using the tracing tool
- Monitor the system's behavior and optimize the application or the system configuration
7. Debug the application software on the target system using the debugger
- Faults can be debugged using the IDE on the development host
Supported hardware
The following processor architectures are supported,[3] with a large set of board support packages (BSP) for various boards:
Symmetric multiprocessing is supported if a multi-core processor is used.
