Porting RTOS on LPC2148 - Step 2 (download eclipse)

Eclipse IDE is used by many users worldwide and it is freely available for download. You may use Eclipse integrated with cross compiler tools. Other than Eclipse there are some other tools which we will see in coming articles.

Use “Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers” as most of our applications will be written in C/C++. An important point here is that, this setup comes up with plugins for C/C++ program development. Plug-ins are nothing but compiler kind of support for executing C/C++ programs. Once the eclipse is downloaded you can install the desired plug-ins also. Note that Eclipse doesn’t have a setup procedure.  Download the eclipse and run the .exe to start working.
