I am new to embedded systems and arm9. I am using Ubuntu 10.04.4 on my computer and Qtopia on the mini 2440. I have connected the device to my computer and loaded the Vivi file, Linux kernel and Qtopia image onto my device. Now I want to compile and execute C programs on my device. Please tell me the step by step procedure.
Compiling C programs on arm9 mini 2440
Thanks davef I have already installed the GCC compiler on my Ubuntu system and I'm using the mini 2440 not the micro 2440 so will the procedure be totally same
As far as compiling C programs there is no difference. The GCC compiler you are referring to would be for compiling programs to run on your host machine. You need a ARM cross-compiler , ie ARM-Linux GCC 4.4.3 / 4.3.2 on the downloads page or grab the QuickStart guide off this page: http://www.oselas.org/oselas/bsp/pengutronix/mini2440_bsp_en.html and read a good guide on the whole development process.
Thanks Davef could you suggest a good guide for the entire process or some books that could guide me. That would be really helpful. Thanks in advance
